Russia has called US-led coalition strikes in Syria, criminal actions. The comment was made by Russia's UN envoy hours after the strikes.

VASSILY NEBENZIA RUSSIA'S UN AMBASSADOR "US and UK continuously disagreed to reflect it was a terrorist attack. I said that it was inadmissible by whatever reasons it was justified and I asked them to remember that they are in Syria illegally, in fact, they were not invited. They claim all the time they fight international terrorism, but we see that it goes beyond that and to confront those who really fight the international terrorism on the ground, on the Syrian side, is criminal."
