Video: Trump orders missile strike on Syria after chemical weapon attack on civilians


The United States launched a military strike Thursday on a Syrian government target in response to their chemical weapons attack that killed dozens of civilians earlier in the week.

On President Donald Trump's orders, US warships launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at a Syrian government airbase where the warplanes that carried out the chemical attacks were based, US officials said.

The strike is the first direct military action the US has taken against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the country's six-year civil war and represents a substantial escalation of the US military campaign in the region, which could be interpreted by the Syrian government as an act of war. - CNN

Video released by the Pentagon shows tomahawk missiles launched by US military vessels bound for an airfield in Syria. President Trump said the strikes were in response to the Syrian regime's chemical attack on civilians there earlier this week.
