Poison gas was fired at a government-held area of Aleppo on Sunday, causing at least 15 people to choke, Syrian state media said. | |
State news agency SANA reported that “shells containing poison gases” had been fired at the residential district of al-Hamdaniya. | |
SANA did not report any deaths, but pan-Arab Al-Mayadeen channel stated that at least one person died, while 15 others are believed to have breathing difficulties after inhaling the gas. They are now being treated at the local hospital. | |
RT Arabic's crew in Aleppo reports 36 cases of suffocation. | |
According to the channel, all the victims of the attack are civilians. | |
Militants reportedly used the poisonous gas in an attack on the Assad Military Academy in the Assad Suburb in western Aleppo, as a part of a broader offensive against government positions in the city which was launched on Friday. | |
It is not yet clear what gas was used in the attack, but Al Mayadeen claims that fighting near the academy continues. | |
