Donald Trump has launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles against Syria, after a suspected chemical attack that killed at least 86 people, including children, caused international outrage.

The attack comes just days before US Secretary of State visits Moscow, the first visit by a Trump administration official.

Mr Tillerson, speaking just after the strikes were announced, said Russia had “failed in its responsibility” to deliver on a 2013 deal it helped broker to destroy Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal.

“So either Russia has been complicit, or Russia has been simply incompetent on its ability to deliver,” Mr Tillerson said.
