MOSCOW — Russia reacted strongly to America's missile strike on
Syria early Friday, calling it an "act of aggression" and suspending an
agreement that prevents direct conflict between U.S. and Russia forces
in the region.
The launch of 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles was
an "egregious and obvious violation of international law that cannot be
justified," its foreign ministry said in a statement.
It called for an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting "to discuss" the response.
President Vladimir Putin also believes the
response will further harm relations between Washington and Moscow, his
spokesman Dmitry Peskov told local news agencies.
