Reports have emerged alleging an assassination attempt on Bashar al-Assad, the former president of Syria, who has been living in exile in Moscow under the protection of Russian President Vladimir Putin since his ousting on December 8 of the previous year. According to unverified claims from a Russian Telegram channel, General SVR, Assad, aged 59, fell ill on Sunday, experiencing severe symptoms including violent coughing and choking. He reportedly sought medical assistance, and tests later confirmed the presence of poison in his system. Assad received treatment in his apartment, and his condition was said to have stabilized by Monday. No official confirmation or further details have been provided by Russian authorities regarding the incident.
