As the Syrian army liberated Douma, the last Eastern Ghouta town under terrorists' control, less than two months into its counter-terrorism operation in the suburban area near the capital, Damascus, the Syrian flag was raised over a building in the area.

In further details, head of Russia's reconciliation center in Syria, Major-General Yuri Yevtushenko, said "The raised state flag over a building in the town of Douma has heralded the control over this location and therefore over the whole of eastern Ghouta."

Eastern Ghouta had been a launch pad for deadly terrorist attacks against residents and civilian infrastructure in Damascus.

Meanwhile, the Russian military was providing air cover to Syria's liberation operation, which had begun on February 19.

The liberation of Douma came amid the looming threats of a US military action against the Syrian government following Saturday's alleged chemical weapons attack on the Syrian town.

A number of Washington's Western allies and Saudi Arabia have also said they would join a military action against Syria.
