British Prime Minister Theresa May says she's deeply disturbed at the poisoning of a couple in Wiltshire by the nerve agent Novichok, the same poison that was used in an assasination attempt on a Russian double agent and his daughter nearby four months earlier.
Sergei Skripal and his daughter took weeks to recover from the poisoning which occured in nearby Salisbury. UK Home Secretary Sajid Javid has confirmed the British couple who are in their mid-40s came into contact with the chemical substance in a separate area to those which were decontaminated following the Skripal attack.
Mr Javid said Russia had questions to answer following the new poisoning. Prime Minister Theresa May said the police would be making every effort to find those responsible.
