The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has released a report that found the Assad regime responsible for the deadly chemical weapons attack on Douma, which killed dozens of civilians.
The report refutes the Russian claim that the April 7, 2018 attack was carried out by the opposition.
The report concludes that there are reasonable grounds to believe that, around 7:30 pm local time on April 7, 2018 at least one Mi-8/17 helicopter of the Syrian Arab Air Force, departing from Dumayr airbase and operating under the control of the Tiger Forces, dropped two yellow cylinders which hit two residential buildings in a central area of the city releasing chlorine killing 43 named individuals and affecting dozens more.
