Daily Mail: Russia has killed at least 200 civilians with its cluster munitions and bombs in Syria, claims Amnesty International
* Amnesty attacks Russia's 'shameful failure' to acknowledge civilian killings
* Surge in reports of cluster bombs dropped since Moscow joined war
* They can leave unexploded bomblets which maim and kill at a later time
* Group's director says attacks on civilians 'may amount to war crimes'
Russia has been accused of killing at least 200 civilians with cluster munitions and unguided bombs during its bombing campaign in Syria.
Human rights watchdog Amnesty International said there has been a surge in reports of cluster bombs dropped in areas targeted by Russian forces since Moscow joined the conflict September 30.
Cluster munitions are by nature indiscriminate and often leave unexploded bomblets on the ground which can maim and kill civilians long after the end of hostilities.
