An advanced type of Russian-made cluster munition was used in an airstrike near the Syrian city of Aleppo on Oct. 4, Human Rights Watch said on Sunday.

Using the weapon “raises grave concerns that Russia is either using cluster munitions in Syria or providing the Syrian air force with new types of cluster munitions to use,” the group said in a statement.
