The death toll in Syria's three-year civil war has crossed 150 000, an activist group has said.
The comments from Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights came as fighting raged across Syria, including an attack in the north that killed at least 31 people, including 9 children.
The group said that it has documented 150 344 deaths in the conflict that started in March 2011.
The figure includes civilians, rebels, members of the Syrian military, militiamen, fighting alongside President Bashar al-Assad's forces and foreign fighters battling for Assad's ouster on the rebels' side, news24 reports.
The Observatory bases its tally on the information it receives from a network of informants on the ground in Syria.
The group said of the 150 344 people who died in the conflict, the majority, or 75 487, were civilians, including 7 985 children and 5 266 women.
