The US says it has identified \u201cpotential preparations\u201d for another chemical attack in Syria, and issued a stark warning to the Syrian government.<\/p>\n

The White House said the activities were similar to those made before a suspected chemical attack in April.<\/p>\n

Dozens died in that attack and prompted President Donald Trump\u00a0to order a strike against a Syrian air base.<\/p>\n

The US statement warned President Bashar al-Assad of \u201ca heavy price\u201d if another strike occurred.<\/p>\n

It said \u201canother chemical weapons attack by the Assad regime\u201d was likely to result \u201cin the mass murder of civilians\u201d.<\/p>\n

The statement added: \u201cAs we have previously stated, the United States is in Syria to eliminate the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. If, however, Mr Assad conducts another mass murder attack using chemical weapons, he and his military will pay a heavy price.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Assad has\u00a0denied his forces were behind the suspected nerve gas attack\u00a0in the rebel-held north-western town of Khan Sheikhoun in April.<\/p>\n

Dozens of civilians, including many children, died.<\/p>\n

In response, US Navy ships in the Mediterranean fired 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at Shayrat airfield, in western Homs province, which it said was used to store chemical weapons.<\/p>\n

The latest development comes amid increasing tension in the region between the US and President Assad\u2019s ally, Russia.<\/p>\n

The Kremlin recently warned the US-led coalition that it would view its aircraft as targets after the US shot down a Syrian military plane.<\/p>\n

Syria\u2019s six-year civil war has left more than 300,000 people dead and created more than five million refugees.<\/p>\n

Militant Islamist groups including so-called Islamic State (IS) have used the conflict to seize swathes of land.<\/p>\n

Warplanes from a US-led coalition are supporting an alliance of Arab and Kurdish militias as they carry out an assault on the group\u2019s stronghold of Raqqa.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
