The U.S. Navy launched dozens of cruise missiles against targets in Syria on Thursday night. NBC News, which first reported the attack, said more than 50 Tomahawk missiles were launched from two U.S. warships in the Mediterranean, and at least one airfield was hit. The attack comes days after the Syrian regime used chemical weapons against an opposition-held town, killing dozens of civilians. The U.S. condemned the attack, and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Thursday that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has no place in that country’s future. President Donald Trump was expected to address the nation from his Mar-a-Lago estate later Thursday night.
