On 14 April 2018, beginning at 04:00 Syrian time (UTC+3),[5] the United States, France, and the United Kingdom carried out a series of military strikes involving aircraft and ship-based missiles against multiple government sites in Syria during the Syrian Civil War.[6][7] The strikes were a reprisal for the Douma chemical attack against civilians on 7 April, widely attributed to the Syrian government.[8][9] The Syrian government called the airstrikes a violation of international law.[8]
