And why Shayrat Airfield’s runways weren’t one of the targets.
When Pentagon spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis told reporters late Thursday night about the cruise missile strike on Shayrat Airfield, the sun wasn’t yet up in western Syria, and he couldn’t offer many details on the strikes’ impacts. Today, the U.S. got its first good look at the damage.
The 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles hit as many targets at the airfield, two senior defense officials told reporters Friday. The aim points included about 20 Syrian government aircraft and multiple hangars, as seen in several photos the Defense Department released today.
