(CNN)The investigative website that claimed to have uncovered the real identity of one of two Russian agents involved in the Novichok poisonings in the UK earlier this year has now named the second one.
UK website Bellingcat claimed Monday the agent traveling under the name Alexander Petrov is a military doctor named Alexander Mishkin, a 39-year-old working for Russian military intelligence, the GRU.
According to the investigative site, “multiple sources familiar with Mishkin, both in St. Petersburg and in his native Loyga” identified Petrov as Mishkin. CNN has not independently verified Bellingcat’s reporting.
