2018 Salisbury poisoning blamed on Russia, nerve agent Novichok killed a local woman; no arrests due to extradition laws.

Neil Basu, former head of UK counter-terrorism, revealed he initially feared the 2018 Salisbury poisoning of ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter could be an "act of war" by Russia. The attack involved the nerve agent Novichok, found in a perfume bottle, leading to the death of local woman Dawn Sturgess. Basu placed blame on the Kremlin, noting no arrests have been made due to Russia's extradition laws, despite international warrants for suspects.
