(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency)
Moscow, May 24 (Petra)-- The Russian Defence Ministry has denied reports of a chemical attack in Syria's Idlib, saying that "this cynical lie is not even confirmed by the White Helmets".
The Defence Ministry continued by describing Washington's attempts to "invent" a story about alleged chemical attacks in Idlib as a political cover for terrorist actions.
The statement comes after the US reported that it was gathering information regarding what it suspects was a chlorine attack in north-western Syria on 19 May.
