Syria finds remnants of Assad’s chemical weapons
Syrian authorities have discovered remnants linked to the chemical weapons program of the former Bashar al-Assad regime, including munitions similar to those used in previous chemical attacks in Eastern Ghouta and Hama, according to Syria’s representation to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
Syria’s state news agency SANA reported on May 26 that ongoing search and investigation operations led to the identification of sites connected to the program.
According to the statement, Syrian expert teams specializing in hazardous materials found air-dropped and surface-to-surface munitions similar to those used in attacks carried out by the former regime in 2013 and 2017.
Authorities also discovered materials used in the production of sarin gas, along with mixing and storage equipment and other chemical substances that are still being analyzed.
