"The Syrian military is finishing clearing Muhayam al-Yarmouk from the militants," a representative of the center told reporters.
According to the Russian military, the Syrian troops have transported women, children and senior citizens away from Yarmouk Camp. The territory is being liberated with the help of aviation and tanks.
On Monday, the Syrian army confirmed that southern outskirts of Damascus had been fully liberated from terrorists.
"As a result of a joint operation of our armed forces and allies, Al Hajar Al Aswad and the surrounding territories have been completely liberated from terrorists," the army said in a statement.
The Yarmouk camp was established in 1957 near Damascus to host Palestinian refugees. During the civil war the camp has become a stronghold of terrorists. In April, the Syrian army started an operation against terrorists in the camp.
