The Syrian regime and rebels accused each other of using chemical weapons for the first time in two years. The government claimed rebels launched a chemical-laden missile near Aleppo, resulting in over 30 deaths. Rebels denied this, blaming the regime for the attack. Independent sources could not confirm either claim. Russia supported the regime's account, while the UN and Red Cross were expected to investigate. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the use of chemical weapons as a monstrous crime. The conflict has resulted in over 70,000 deaths and nearly a million refugees.
