Regime Attack Kills 63 İn Syria, Activists Say

At least 63 people, including eleven children and six women, were killed in air and ground operations across Syria on Wednesday by forces of President Bashar al-Assad, opposition activists say.



The London-based Syrian Network for Human Rights watchdog said that 63 people had been  killed on Wednesday, including 31 in Aleppo, 19 in Damascus suburbs, four in Idlib, Homs, Latakia and Hama, etc.



Syrian official news agency SANA confirmed that Assad's forces had killed millitants in eastern Aleppo, Homs and central eastern Aleppo provinces.



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



The UN has stopped updating its death toll for the country because an official count has become too difficult to verify. At least 100,000 deaths were recorded in the last official count in July 2013.
