British Inquiry Probes 2018 Novichok Attack, Family Seeks Putin's Testimony

Dawn Sturgess's family calls for accountability as inquiry investigates her death from a discarded nerve agent in Salisbury.

Dawn Sturgess died after being exposed to Novichok, a nerve agent believed to have been used in an assassination attempt on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter.
The public inquiry in Britain is examining the circumstances of Sturgess's death and the involvement of Russian nationals in the attack.
Sturgess's family has requested Russian President Vladimir Putin to testify, believing he authorized the operation.
The inquiry highlighted the potential for mass casualties, revealing the Novichok could have killed thousands if not contained.
British authorities have charged three Russian nationals in connection with the attack, and the UK government maintains that the operation was sanctioned at the highest levels of the Russian government.
