Syria denies using any chemical attack in Douma in eastern Gouta

SANAA, April.8 (YPA) – The Syrian government has denied terrorist claims pertaining to it launching a chemical attack in the city of Douma in Eastern Ghouta.

In a statement released via Syria’s official SANA news agency late on Saturday, the Syrian government stressed that such claims were aimed at halting Syrian forces’ advances in the region and were made by the terrorists themselves.

“The chemical fabrications, which did not serve the terrorists and their sponsors in Aleppo and Eastern Ghouta, will not serve them today either, as the Syrian state is determined to end terrorism in every square inch of Syrian territory,” read the statement.

It added that Syrian forces, “which is making a swift and determined advance,” do not need to use such measures against the terrorists.
