Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a furious response calling airstrike an 'illegal act of aggression'

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered a warship to protect the syrian coast and vowed to bolster Bashar al-Assad's missile defences against further US strikes. The Russian President has sent his Admiral Grigorovich frigate, armed with cruise missiles and a self defence system to dock in syria. It will pass the east Mediterranean waters where the 59 Tomahawk missiles where fired from.


President Putin has called the air strike an 'illegal act of aggression' and also ripped up an agreement to prevent mid air clashes between Russian and US fighter jets over syria.
