A total of 118 civilians were killed in attacks in war-torn Syria last month, according to the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) on Tuesday.
In a statement, the group said 18 children and 12 women were among the victims.
Forty-four civilians were killed by regime forces and allied militias, while 21 people were tortured to death in regime prisons, the SNHR said.
The network said six civilians were killed in areas occupied by the Kurdish YPG militia, one in Russian airstrikes and four in clashes between opposition groups.
The SNHR said 63 civilians were killed but without identifying those responsible.
The watchdog estimates that 2,682 civilians have been killed in Syria since the start of this year.
Assad, who now controls around 60 percent of the country, has vowed to reclaim the rest, including Idlib.
Eight years of war in Syria have killed 560,000 people and driven half the pre-war population of 22 million from their homes, including more than 6 million as refugees to neighbouring countries. Agencies
