(CNN)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.
【ワシントン時事】米軍は米東部時間6日午後8時40分（日本時間7日午前9時40分）ごろ、シリアの空軍飛行場に対し、巡航ミサイル59発を発射した。
AFPの電話取材に応じたタラル・バラジ（Talal al-Barazi）知事は、「複数の殉教者が出ている。だが、殉教者・負傷者の人数はまだ分からない」と語った。基地の数か所で火災が発生しており、やけどを負った人も複数いるという。
バラジ知事によると、シャイラト基地に展開していた部隊は、シリア政府軍が先月イスラム過激派組織「イスラム国（IS）」から再奪還した遺跡都市パルミラ（Palmyra）周辺での戦闘で「重要な支援を提供していた」という。AFP
The United States' missile strikes on a military airfield in Syria violates international law and represents an act of aggression against a sovereign state under a far-fetched pretext, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The US launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at the Syrian military airfield in Ash Sha'irat near Homs late Thursday. US President Donald Trump said the attack was a response to the alleged chemical weapon use in Idlib on Tuesday, which Washington blames on Damascus.
"President [Vladimir] Putin regards the US attacks on Syria as an aggression against a sovereign state in violation of the norms of international law, and under a trumped-up pretext at that," Pesov told reporters.
Russian President Vladimir Putin also sees the latest US missile strikes on a military airfield in Syria as an attempt to distract from the mounting civilian casualties in Iraq, the Kremlin added.
"Putin also sees the attacks on Syria by the US as an attempt to divert the international community's attention from the numerous casualties among civilians in Iraq."
DETAILS TO FOLLOW.
