At least 1,815 Syrian civilians have died in Russia’s strikes since its air campaign began on September 30, 2015, according to new statistics from the Syrian Civil Defense authority.

In the northern countryside of Homs, one woman died and 10 more were wounded in a regime missile attack on the town of Rastan.

Russia's warplanes also staged 30 raids on the town of Harbanafseh in the southern countryside of Hama, a reporter said.
