Inspectors from the global chemical arms watchdog today took samples in the Syrian town of Douma after an alleged poison gas attack, the body said.

A fact-finding mission from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) visited Douma "today to collect samples for analysis in connection with allegations of chemical weapons use on 7 April 2018.

The OPCW will evaluate the situation and consider future steps including another possible visit to Douma," the organisation said in a statement.
