Gun and mortar fire could be heard on Sunday (November 11) from the Syrian border town of Ras al-Ain three days after it fell to rebels fighting to oust President Bashar al-Assad.

Refugees who had fled to Turkey said they feared retribution from the air.

More than 10,000 people fled the fighting on Thursday and Friday, the United Nations said, swelling to over 120,000 the number of registered refugees Turkey is sheltering in camps, testing the country's resources and patience.
