Former double agent Sergei Skripal has been discharged from Salisbury Hospital more than two months after he and his daughter were poisoned with a military-grade nerve agent, the hospital has said.
The Skripals were found unconscious on a bench in the English cathedral city of Salisbury on March 4.
British Prime Minister Theresa May said the pair were attacked with a military-grade nerve agent from the Novichok group of poisons, developed by the Soviet Union.
Moscow denied the attack.
Salisbury District Hospital said on Friday Mr Skripal had been released.
He and his daughter have been taken to an undisclosed location for their safety.
Yulia Skripal, 33, recovered more quickly than her father and was discharged last month.
A police officer who was also exposed to the poison was discharged from hospital two weeks after the incident.
More to come.
