The Chemistry Department of Malaysia confirms that the chemical substance used to kill Kim Jong Nam was a VX nerve agent. The VX nerve agent is internationally banned and is the most toxic substance in chemical warfare. The nerve agent is listed in the top tier of deadly substances in the Chemical Weapons Convention. This is a chemical that can kill within minutes. Kim Jong Nam died on February 13th, after two women swiped his face with the VX agent. The estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un passed away on the way to the hospital shortly after.
