Syria
More than 1000 people have died in violent conflicts in Syria on Thursday. The security forces and former President Bashar al-Assad’s supporters were involved during the conflict. Associated Press has given this information. The violence began when gunmen who fired bullets in favor of the present government began killing in a sense of revenge against former President Asad. Now the violence has stopped to some extent and the government has restored control over most areas. Authorities have closed all roads leading to the coastal region to restore stability, where there was a center of violence.
The Syrian Human Rights Observatory stated that 745 civilians were killed in conflicts, most of whom were killed by bullets. In addition, 125 government security forces members and 148 militants of armed groups associated with Assad have also been killed.
