UK troops to get vaccinated after Russian spy poisoning case
Thousands of British troops will be vaccinated against anthrax in response to the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal, Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson has said. A Chemical Weapons Defence Centre would also be set up to "maintain cutting edge in chemical analysis and defence," Williamson added. Skripal and his daughter were allegedly poisoned with a Russia-developed nerve agent.
