Dozens of people, including at least 10 children, were killed in what is suspected to be one of the deadliest chemical attacks in Syria in years, multiple activist groups say.

Airstrikes hit the rebel-held city of Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib province, giving off a "Poisonous gas," according to Anas al-Diab, an activist with the Aleppo Media Center.

The attack, which has been blamed on the Syrian regime by activists and condemned by international leaders, has reportedly left hundreds injured.

The Syrian army issued a statement denying responsibility, instead blaming terrorist groups and their supporters.

Fares al-Jundi, a doctor who lives in a nearby village, rushed to the hospital after the airstrikes. He told CNN: "I've never seen anything like it -- beyond description."

In Washington, White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters the attack was perpetrated by forces tied to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and was a "Consequence of the past administration's weakness and irresolution."

Sen. John McCain criticized the Trump administration and told CNN the decision to no longer prioritize ending the Syrian civil war was "Another disgraceful chapter in American history." Ref. CNN.
