Major General Igor Konashenkov said Russia has intelligence that the Free Syrian Army is going to stage a “chemical attack” in the village of Haql al-Jafara to accuse the Syrian government of conducting it.
The US-backed Free Syrian Army and the US Special Operations Forces are preparing a “chemical weapons” provocation in the Syrian province of Deir Ezzor, Major General Igor Konashenkov said on June 11.
According to Konashenkov, the US-led forces are going to stage a “chemical attack” in the village of Haql al-Jafara to accuse the Syrian government of conducting it. Balloons with chlorine gas are allegedly already delivered to the area.
According to the information confirmed through three independent channels in Syria, the command of the so-called ‘Free Syrian Army’ aided by the forces of the US special ops units are preparing a serious provocation involving chemical warfare agents in the Deir ez-Zor province,” Konashenkov said.
After being published in western media a staged video is set to initiate a missile strike on Syria’s state facilities by the US-led coalition and justify an offensive operation by militants against Syrian governmental forces on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River,” he added.
Konashenkov added the Russian Defense Ministry warns that the use of such provocations for the destabilization of the situation in Syria is unacceptable.
