Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from two US Navy destroyers on an Syrian air base are reliable at a 99-percent accuracy, a defense expert told CBS News on Friday

The air base, the target of the strike, will also likely be rendered useless after it was believed to hold chemical weapons used in an attack last Tuesday.

Syrian military in Friday said the U.S. missile attack on one of its air bases in central Syria has killed six and caused extensive damage, calling it an aggression that undermines Damascus' counter terrorism operations.

The statement read on TV Friday came hours after the U.S. sent nearly 60 Tomahawk missiles into the Shayrat air base, southeast of Homs, the first American attack against the Syrian army since the war started in 2011. — Video from CBS News; With a report by AP
