BEIRUT: US-led coalition air strikes on two Syrian provinces killed 472 civilians over the past month, a monitor said on Friday, more than double a previous 30-day toll.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the period between May 23 and June 23 saw the highest civilian death toll in coalition strikes since they began on September 23, 2014.
