The Russian embassy in Syria has said its staff are "fine" following the ousting of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the capture of Damascus by rebel groups, Russia's state Tass news agency reported on Sunday.
"We are fine," a Russian embassy staff member told Tass, without providing details on the diplomats' whereabouts.
On Friday, the embassy had urged Russian nationals to leave the country.
