Syrian MoD: US Coalition Strikes Daesh Chemical Depot in Deir ez-Zor
Local Editor
The Syrian General Staff said that the US-led coalition struck a Daesh [the Arabic acronym for the Takfiri ‘ISIS/ISIL' group] depot storing chemical weapons in Deir ez-Zor on Wednesday.
The Syrian military said that this fact proves that terrorists possess chemical weapons.
According to the Syrian General Staff, the US-led coalition's strikes killed several hundred people, including civilians.
The news comes as Washington and its allies are blaming the Syrian government for a suspected chemical attack in the Syrian Idlib province on April 4.
Syrian opposition claimed on April 4 that forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad had used a chemical gas on people in the northwestern province, killing nearly 80 and injuring 200.
Al-Assad argued his government has no chemical weapons after agreeing to have them destroyed in 2013. He also ruled out having used chemicals against own people.
The Russian Defense Ministry said next day that the airstrike near Khan Shaykhun was carried out by Syrian aircraft, which struck a terrorist warehouse that stored chemical weapons slated for delivery to Iraq.
