The chemical agent considered one of the deadliest in the world was contained in rockets stored at an Army depot.
FILE-Workers handle special containers filled with M-55 rockets at an Army depot in 1995. The last stockpiles of a deadly chemical agent in the U.S. have been safely eliminated, according to Kentucky officials in charge of destroying the Cold War-era weapons.
Candace Coyle, the plant’s project manager, said Wednesday the nation’s entire stockpile of VX nerve agent "is now completely destroyed." The Kentucky Army depot still has 277 tons of other chemical agents left to be destroyed, after beginning with more than 520 tons of VX, GB and mustard agent that was in storage for decades. Officials said it all should be gone by next year after it began eliminating its mustard agent stockpiles in 2019.
