Buzzfeed: Here's How The World Has Reacted To The Missile Strikes On Syria
The strikes have been supported by Nato's general secretary, but China and Iran have condemned them. Vladimir Putin has demanded an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.
Russian president Vladimir Putin has denounced the missile strikes by the US, France and the UK as an “act of aggression” that will exacerbate the humanitarian catastrophe in Syria.

No local resident confirmed the chemical attack."
