Nerve agent

The news was confirmed from the hospital where he worked, writes Klix.ba and adds that it is Dr Sergej Maksimishin, who was the deputy chief doctor of the hospital in Omsk. However, the exact reason for this 55-year-old doctor's death has not been announced yet.

He claims he was poisoned with a nerve agent planted in his underwear

LONDON (Reuters) - A British woman died on Sunday after she was poisoned by the same nerve agent that struck a former Russian spy in March and triggered a crisis in relations between Western capitals and Moscow.

Britain's home secretary is visiting Amesbury and Salisbury in southwestern England to reassure residents that the risk to the public remains very low despite the recent poisoning of two people exposed to a deadly nerve agent.

The nerve agent Novichok has poisoned two new victims in England, The Telegraph reports. The two collapsed after visiting Salisbury, the same town where former Russian double-agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were attacked with the chemical weapon back in March.

Three Belgian companies are facing prosecution for allegedly exporting a chemical that can be used to make the deadly nerve agent sarin to Syria, in breach of international sanctions, officials said on April 18.

Yulia Skripal has been discharged from hospital more than a month since she was poisoned along with her father, a former Russian spy, with a military-grade nerve agent, the English hospital where they are being treated said.

Yulia Skripal has been discharged from a British hospital, the BBC reported on Tuesday, just over a month after being poisoned with a nerve agent along with her father Sergei, a former Russian double agent, quoted by Reuters.

Russian diplomats expelled from the United States arrived in Moscow on April 1, with post-Cold War tensions peaking in the wake of a nerve agent attack on a former spy in Britain.

 Yulia Skripal, the daughter of ex-spy Sergei Skripal, is improving rapidly and no longer in a critical condition, says the hospital treating her. 

She and her father were admitted nearly four weeks ago after being exposed to a nerve agent in Salisbury.
