Russia's
defense ministry is blaming a Syrian airstrike on a "terrorist"
ammunition depot for the deaths of dozens of people in what has been
described as a suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria's Idlib
province.
At least 70 people,
including many children, died Tuesday after suffering symptoms of
chemical poisoning, including foaming at the mouth and suffocation.
According
to a statement posted Wednesday on the Russian ministry's Facebook
page, the strike hit "workshops, which produced chemical warfare
munitions" in the eastern outskirts of the Khan Sheikhoun town.
Activists
said the Syrian regime dropped a chemical bomb and was responsible for
the killings, leading the United Nations to replace a scheduled Security
Council session for Wednesday morning with an emergency meeting.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's military denied using chemical weapons and blamed rebels for the carnage.
