The United Kingdom has asked Interpol to issue arrest warrants for two men accused of working for Russian intelligence and are wanted for the nerve agent attack on a former spy and his daughter in the English city of Salisbury, Aljazeera reported.

In a statement before the UN Security Council, UK Ambassador Karen Pierce reiterated on Thursday that the British government has "clear evidence of Russian state involvement" in the attack and the use of the Novichok chemical weapon against former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia.  

"There is an established pattern of malign Russian behaviour perpetrated by military and intelligence agencies overseas," Pierce said. 

"They work in a parallel universe where the normal rules of international affairs are inverted."
