США, Великобритания и Франция нанесли авиаудары по военным целям в Сирии

Соединенные Штаты, Франция и Британия начали наносить военные удары по Сирии с тем, чтобы наказать режим Башара Асада за предполагаемое использование химического оружия против гражданских лиц.

Дональд Трамп в пятницу во время выступления из Белого дома сообщил, что США наносят точечные удары по объектам программы производства химоружия в Сирии.

Сирийское телевидение сообщило, что в ответ на авиаудары были задействованны средства ПВО.

Трамп сказал, что США готово оказывать давление на Асада, пока он не прекратит то, что президент назвал преступной моделью убийств своих людей с запрещенным на международном уровне химическим оружием.

Премьер-министр Великобритании Тереза Мэй в Лондоне заявила, что Запад пытался «всевозможными» дипломатическими средствами не дать Асаду применить химическое оружие. «Но наши усилия были неоднократно сорваны» Сирией и Россией, сказала она.

Президент Франции Эммануэль Макрон заявил, что целью авиаударов является "тайный химический арсенал сирийского правительства".
