Syria calls US tomahawk missile attack on airbase 'American Aggression'

07 April 2017 04:03 (UTC +04:00)

Syrian television has said that the target of the "American Aggression" was a Syrian military base, in response to the US launch of around 50 tomahawk missiles on an airfield in the country's Homs province, APA reports quoting Sputnik.

US military ships in the Mediterranean launched the strike between 8 and 9 PM ET.

On Tuesday, an alleged chemical weapon attack in Syria’s militant-held Idlib province claimed the lives of some 80 people and inflicted harm on an additional 200 civilians. The Syrian National Coalition of Revolutionary and Opposition Forces blamed the Syrian government troops for the attack, while Damascus has refuted these allegations.
