Syrian forces backed by Russian warplanes bombed a refugee camp in an assault that used illegal cluster bombs, killing ten people and injuring around 80 others.

The attack saw ammunition thrown during an assault on a camp for internally displaced people (IDPs) in the northwestern Syrian city of Idlib on Sunday.< /p>

Jonathan Hargreaves, UK Special Representative for Syria, said on Twitter: "Russia is breaching its own ceasefire agreement and using illegal cluster munitions on an IDP camp. This disregard for international law must end.”

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), an opposition war monitor, also reported that Russian warplanes fired rockets at the Maram camp and other camps just northwest of the provincial capital of Idlib, where nine were killed and 77 injured.
