Syria war: 'Chlorine attack' on rebel-held Idlib town
Nine people were treated for breathing difficulties after a bomb believed to be filled with chlorine was dropped on a rebel-held town in Syria, medics say.
The Syria Civil Defence said three of its rescue workers were among the casualties from the attack on Saraqeb, in the north-western province of Idlib.
The Syrian opposition said the bomb was dropped by a government helicopter.
Another 20 people were reportedly killed in conventional government and Russian air strikes elsewhere in Idlib.
