Air strikes by the US-led coalition in Syria have killed 553 people since their launch a month ago, the vast majority of them extremists, a monitoring group said on Thursday.

The strikes have killed 464 "ISIL" militants, 57 from al-Qaeda affiliate al-Nusra Front and 32 civilians, the Britain-based so-called
"Syrian Observatory for Human Rights" said.

Among the civilians killed were six children and five women, said the Observatory.
