A man and a woman who were found “critically ill” in the United Kingdom on July 4 were exposed to the nerve agent Novichok, which is the same one used in the attack on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, according to Metropolitan Police.
The incident unfolded near Amesbury, in Wiltshire, England, according to police, who said the victims are a man and a woman in their 40s who “were found unconscious in a property.”
