According to Vadim Kulit, deputy head of the Russian Defense Ministry's Center for Reconciliation of Opposing Sides in Syria, militants in Syria's Idlib are planning a provocation using toxic substances to discredit Russian forces in Syria, and they have already delivered chlorine to the town of Arihah.

During a briefing, Kulit explained that information received by the center indicated that leaders of the "terrorist groups operating in the southern part of the Idlib de-escalation zone are preparing a provocation using toxic substances, aimed at discrediting the grouping of troops (forces) of the Russian armed forces in Syria. "
