Observer: At least 412 people killed in Syria
At least 412 people, including 61 civilians, have been killed in this week's jihadist rebel uprising in Syria. This is according to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), according to AFP.
According to SOHR, eight civilians have been killed, including two children, and at least 50 injured in a Russian airstrike against a refugee camp in Idlib.
Syrian state television claims that the army has killed over 1,000 rebels in the past three days, but no evidence is presented.
Russia: Helping Syria fight back against rebels
The Russian air force is helping the Syrian army fight back against jihadist rebels in the provinces of Idlib, Hamah and Aleppo, the Russian military writes on its website according to AFP.
"In the past 24 hours, robot and bomb attacks have been carried out in places where militiamen and equipment have gathered," the statement reads. Russia claims 320 rebels killed.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), the death toll is 412, of which 214 are rebels, 137 army soldiers and 61 civilians.
Russia is Syrian President al-Assad's main military backer ever since the country turned the fortunes of war in his favor after the 2015 intervention.
Details: Russian commander replaced - heavy losses
Russia has fired Sergei Kisel, commander of Russian forces in Syria. This is reported by two Russian military blogs with access to the Ministry of Defense, according to Reuters.
The bloggers are sharply critical of Kisel, who previously commanded the 1st Tank Army when the Russians were driven out of Ukrainian Kharkiv during the fall 2022 counteroffensive.
"Apparently, his hidden talents were supposed to be revealed in Syria, but something got in the way again," writes one of the bloggers.
According to the Ukrainian intelligence service HUR, the Russian forces have suffered heavy losses in Syria, Kyiv Post reports.
Russian units have been surrounded, and hundreds of soldiers are listed as missing, according to HUR.
