Live stream: Pentagon briefing on U.S. airstrikes in Syria


Pentagon officials will provide an update on the U.S. overnight airstrikes against Syria at 9 A.M. EST.

The U.S. led airstrikes in a coordinated attack with U.K. and French allies against the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, President Trump announced Friday night.

Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said precision missile strikes targeted three areas of Syria: a scientific research center near Damascus, a chemical weapons storage facility west of Homs and a storage facility and command post near Homs. Dunford said there was some "activity" by Syrian surface-to-air missiles, but there were no reports of U.S. or allied casualties.
