The United States launched its first airstrikes on militants in Syria on Sept. 23, and has continued the onslaught since.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Thursday that 533 people have been killed in airstrikes since they began. That group counted 32 civilian deaths, including six children and five women. The Observatory has been tracking conflict in Syria for years, and has a large network of activists on the ground.
Visually, the deaths look like this:

The human rights organization said that the number of militants could be much higher. Most of the deaths occurred around Kobane, the border town in northern Syria where militants have been locked in a fierce fight with Kurdish forces trying to protect it from falling. More than 130 U.S. airstrikes have been launched on targets around Kobane.
