A U.S. official has stated that the United States was 'not aware' of nor involved in the recent killing of Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, the chief of Russia's chemical weapons program, who died in an explosion in Moscow. Matthew Miller, a spokesperson for the U.S. State Department, reiterated this position during a press conference, asserting that the U.S. had no role in the incident, which has been claimed by Ukraine. The U.S. government has condemned Kirillov's actions in the past, referring to his 'atrocities.' The incident has raised tensions, but U.S. officials have firmly denied any involvement in the attack.
