The British newspaper The Sun reported on Thursday that ousted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was the target of an assassination attempt by poisoning in Russia.

According to the report, Assad was poisoned last Sunday, prompting him to seek immediate medical assistance after feeling suffocated and experiencing persistent coughing.

Tests revealed the presence of a toxic substance in his body, and he was treated at his apartment in Moscow. His condition reportedly stabilized by Monday. However, no official confirmation has been issued by Russian authorities.
