UN Security Council meets on US strikes in Syria

The United Nations Security Council has met at 1130 EDT (1530 GMT) on Friday to discuss Thursday's U.S. cruise missile strikes on a regime air base.


Assad has been "put on notice" by the U.S. air strike over a deadly toxic gas attack, Britain's U.N. Ambassador Matthew Rycroft said on Friday, describing it as a "proportionate response to unspeakable acts."

"Without Russia's seven vetoes in the Security Council, defying the views of other members of this council, Assad would not have faced sanctions and justice," Rycroft told the 15-member council.

Russia demanded an emergency meeting after angrily denouncing the military action as an "aggression against a sovereign state."
