Dozens of people died when chlorine was dropped on the Syrian city of Douma in 2018 in what was called 'one of the worst chemical attacks in Syrian history'. The global chemical weapons watchdog has now found Syria's air force was responsible.

The report by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons offered the latest confirmation that the regime of Syrian President Bashar al Assad used chemical weapons during his country's grinding civil war.

"The use of chemical weapons in Douma - and anywhere - is unacceptable and a breach of international law," OPCW director-general Fernando Arias said.
