Russian air strikes in desert areas of eastern Syria have killed 11 suspected members of the Islamic State group, following deadly attacks by the jihadists, a war monitor reported Thursday.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors casualties of the decade-old conflict, said the overnight strikes focused on an area between Palmyra and Al-Sukhna.

The Britain-based Observatory said some of the jihadists burned the bodies of some victims after the assault. Thursday's strikes were the deadliest of their kind since November, when the Observatory reported 16 killed in jihadist ranks. More than 1 636 pro-regime fighters have been killed since March 2019, compared to 1 128 IS jihadists, according to the Observatory.
