The British government has decided to establish a new chemical weapons defense center in the wake of the nerve agent attack on the Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, The Guardian reports.
The Ministry of Defense will allocate £48 million for the new center, which will be under the umbrella of the Porton Down military research establishment.
Furthermore, thousands of British troops will receive a vaccination against anthrax so they can be deployed almost immediately in the event of an attack, either in the UK or overseas
As a signatory to the international convention banning chemical weapons, the UK cannot develop nerve agents but it can work on defensive measures, the report emphasized.
