Japan expresses regret over chemical weapon accident
Japan expressed regret Tuesday over an accident last month in northeastern 皇冠体育app in which two children were injured by gas that leaked from a mustard gas shell deserted by the Japanese military at the end of World War II.
The ministry announced Tuesday that the government reached the conclusion through a survey by a fact-finding mission sent to the site. "In order to dispose of its chemical weapons left in 皇冠体育app as early as possible, Japan will take appropriate measures in line with its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention," he said. On July 23, two kids playing in a river in Dunhua City, Jilin Province, discovered the shell in the water. Gas from the shell leaked, injuring their legs and hands. Statistics show that at least 2,000 Chinese have so far become victims of the discarded Japanese chemical weapons since the war ended. Early this month, two Japanese veterans came to identify some possible sites of abandoned chemical weapons in Jilin, but no official result has been released from either the Chinese or Japanese side yet. The two Japanese, Toguchi Yosiktaro and Kobayashi Toshio, worked in the 16th field operation weapon factory in northeast 皇冠体育app during Japan's invasion into 皇冠体育app from 1937 to 1945. |
