Russia has granted asylum to Bashar al-Assad and his family, who are now in Moscow. This decision was made for humanitarian reasons, according to a Kremlin source. Assad left Syria as rebels were entering the capital, raising concerns about his fate. An aircraft from Syrian Air took off during this turmoil, initially heading toward the coastline before disappearing from radar.
