AKIPRESS.COM - Damascus' allies have condemned US President Donald Trump for ordering air attacks in Syria "on targets associated with chemical weapons capabilities" in collaboration with the UK and France, Al Jazeerareported.

Russia's ambassador to the US warned that there would be consequences for the attacks early on Saturday, which came in response to a suspected chemical weapons attack in the former rebel stronghold of Douma last weekend.

"A pre-designed scenario is being implemented," Russian Ambassador Anatoly Antonov said on Twitter.

"Again, we are being threatened. We warned that such actions will not be left without consequences."

Antov added that it was not acceptable to insult Russia's president: "Insulting the President of Russia is unacceptable and inadmissible."

"The US - the possessor of the biggest arsenal of chemical weapons - has no moral right to blame other countries."

Later on Saturday, the Syrian presidency posted a video that appeared to show President Bashar al-Assad arriving for work hours after the strike.

"The morning of resilience," declared a caption accompanying the video circulated on the presidency's Telegram feed.

"The barbaric aggression ... will not affect in any way the determination and insistence of the Syrian people and their heroic armed forces," state news agency SANA cited an official source in the Syrian foreign ministry as saying.
