Yulia Skripal released from hospital: Report

Yulia Skripal

Story highlights

The Skripals were found unconscious on a bench on March 4 in the southern English city of Salisbury.

Yulia Skripal, the daughter of ex-spy Sergei Skripal, has been discharged from the hospital, the BBC reported on Tuesday.

Both Yulia,33, and Sergei,66, were allegedly poisoned with nerve gas by Russian agents setting off a diplomatic war between the UK and Russia which led to both countries ejecting diplomats from their country in a tit-for-tat move.

The US and several European Union countries later joined the UK in sending back Russian diplomats as the poisoning row escalated last month.
