“Three months of Russian airstrikes in Syria have killed more than 2,300 people, a third of them civilians, a monitoring group has said. Russia began conducting its air war in Syria on 30 September in support of its embattled ally, President Bashar al-Assad. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Moscow’s strikes on Syria have killed 2,371 people so far. The toll includes 792 civilians, among them 180 children. The raids killed 655 Islamic State fighters, which Russia says it is targeting along with ‘other terrorist groups’.”
