@alibunkallsky (Sky News) reporting all four Tornados returned safely. How’s about that then, Van?

The Pentagon press conference said that around double the number of missiles were fired compared to the Shayrat attack, which would make 120ish. Syrian TV is claiming 13 shot down. Not a great advertisement for the vaunted anti-missile capabilities, in fact a significant embarrassment if true given the rhetoric from Moscow.

I will be interested to see what weapons were used against the storage site to minimise the release and spread of the CW in the local area
MOD Statement

Looks like Storm Shadow was used against stored CW precursors. Presumably they’ll have assessed that releasing precursors in an isolated area would be an acceptable risk.
