The US is investigating whether Russia was involved in the chemical attack in Syria that prompted US President Donald Trump to launch the first direct military assault against the Assad regime.

A senior US defense official told CNN the Pentagon is looking for any evidence that the Russian government knew about the attack that killed at least 80 people and injured dozens more.

Russian President Vladimir Putin denounced the strike as "act of aggression" and said it violated international law.

Western leaders backed the US action, saying Syrian President Bashar al‑Assad had brought it on himself.
