The United States is “disappointed but not surprised” at Russia’s response to its strikes on a Syrian air base suspected of storing chemical weapons.

At least six people are reported to have been killed in the U.S missile strikes early on Friday, the BBC reports.

Syria’s ally Russia accused the U.S of encouraging “terrorists” with its unilateral actions.

“I’m disappointed in that response,” said U.S Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson.

“It indicates their continued support for the Assad regime and, in particular, their continued support for a regime that carries out these horrendous attacks on their own people.

“So I find it very disappointing, but, sadly, I have to tell you, not all that surprising,” he added.

Moscow has promised to strengthen Syria’s anti-aircraft defences.

It is also closing down a hotline with the U.S designed to avoid collisions between their air forces over Syria.
