Syria removes 80% of chemical weapons
Syria has removed or destroyed 80% of its chemical weapons and is on target to hit its June deadline for full removal, said the United Nations.
Syria has destroyed empty mustard gas containers and "made progress" closing chemical weapons production and storage sites, said the UN.
Sigrid Kaag, Special Coordinator of the OPCW-UN Joint Mission, said she expected further meetings with Syrian officials would keep removal efforts moving up to the 30 June target.
