The casualties include 52 civilians,72 fighters of the Al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front and 758 fighters of the Islamic State militants, Xinhua reported citing the statement.

The casualties were as a result of the US-led strikes in oil-rich fields in Syrian provinces of Hasaka, Deir al-Zour, al-Raqqa, Aleppo and Idlib.

The US-led anti-terror coalition started its strikes on areas under the extremist group's control late last September.

The Syrian crisis has been dragging on unabatedly since 2011. The United Nations said over 190,000 people have been killed during the conflict.
