Thieves stole several ancient Roman-era marble statues from Syria’s National Museum in Damascus, with officials reporting at least six were taken during a break-in over the weekend.
The museum, which reopened in January after closing during the civil war and the fall of the Assad regime, was temporarily closed again after the theft was discovered Monday.
Security had been upgraded post-2011 conflict, including relocation of artifacts from areas like Palmyra, previously damaged by ISIS.
The exact number of stolen items remains unclear, and no official statement has been issued.
An investigation is ongoing.
