18:24 GMT 17.04.2018 (Updated: 12:04 GMT 06.08.2022) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - A total of 37 percent of the UK public opposes the country's participation in the recent Western attack targeting Syria, while 35 percent support the involvement in the operation, a recent survey showed Tuesday.
On Friday night, the United States, France, and the United Kingdom launched over 100 missiles on a number of targets in Syria in response to the alleged chemical attack in the Duma town. The Syrian government has denied the accusations of chemical weapons use and said that the Jaysh al-Islam terror group staged an attack to justify potential foreign intervention in Syria.
