Russia has killed more Syrian civilians than IS in a third of the time

Russian air strikes have killed more Syrian civilians than Islamic State in about a third of the time, the Syrian Network for Human Rights (@snhr), an independent NGO monitoring the Syrian civil war, said. 

Airstrikes orchestrated by Moscow have killed at least 2,704 people since Russia entered the conflict on the side of embattled President Bashar al-Assad last September. Islamic State has caused 2,686 civilian deaths, the group reported.
