The main forces of the Islamic State terrorist group (outlawed in Russia) fled to Libya and southwestern Asia after being defeated in Syria, the chief of the Russian General Staff, Army Gen. Valery Gerasimov, said on Wednesday.


"Some of them return to countries, from which they illegally arrived. The bulk of them flees to Libya, to southwestern Asian countries," the official said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily.

Gerasimov added that certain groups of terrorists flee to Afghanistan, where "conditions are favorable for them."
