Russian airstrikes kill "over 2,300 people"
The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has announced that Russia's airstrikes in Syria have killed "2,371 people so far."
Source: TanjugAFP reported that the group said "a third of them were civilians, including 180 children" along with "655 fighters from Islamic State."
"Another 924 opposition fighters - ranging from US-backed rebels to members of Al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate and IS rival Al-Nusra Front - were also killed in the Russian strikes," reported the agency, quoting the group.
Russia started its campaign on September 30, "claiming to target Islamic State, while the West said it was a form of support to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad."
The French agency said that "Russia has come under growing criticism from rebels, human rights groups, and the West for inflicting civilian casualties."
