Free Syrian Army 'Kills 50 Regime Soldiers'

At least 50 Assad regime soldiers, including three high profile officers, have been killed in clashes with Free Syrian Army forces, according to the Syrian Revolution General Commission. 



The commission (SRGC) said on Friday the fierce clashes had taken place in the Kalamun region of Damascus.



"There are three high profile officers who have been killed - significant losses for the regime," officials said.



Syria has been gripped by fighting since the regime launched a violent crackdown in response to anti-government protests in March, 2011, triggering a conflict that has spiraled into a civil war.



The UN has stopped updating its death toll for the country, saying an official count had become too difficult to verify.



At least 100,000 deaths were recorded in the last official count by the UN in July 2013.
