MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the SANA news agency, citing the sources from the town of Mare’a, several locals suffered from asphyxiation after the extremists attacked the region with shells containing toxic material.
Islamic State is a violent extremist group that has seized large areas in Iraq and Syria, establishing a caliphate on territories under their control.
