On May 26, two Japanese workers were injured in Jilin Province, China, while handling abandoned chemical weapons from WWII, when a shell leaked toxic gas. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated that Chinese personnel provided immediate on-site medical care and hospitalization, and the two were discharged and returned to Japan on May 29. The disposal operation is a joint effort by the Chinese and Japanese governments, with approximately 118,000 chemical weapons destroyed as of the end of March last year, though the project has faced multiple delays.
