Transcript for Images of damaged Syrian air base after strike released

Straight to the headlines. The global fallout from president trump's decision to strike Syria. New satellite images of the Syrian air base hit by dozens of U.S. Tomahawk missiles. Jets destroyed. Although the runway appears to be pretty much unscathed. That may explain the news this morning that two jets have taken off from that air base just hours after the strike, again, this is the same air base from which the U.S. Says a chemical attack was launched against civilian, many children. Here's what else we know this morning. The attack is increasing tensions between the united States and Russia, a major ally of Syria. The Russian prime minister even warning the U.S. That if you attack our ally, you're basically one step away from attacking us. Meanwhile, though, tough talk from the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley calling out Russia and Iran for supporting the Syrian regime and its crimes against humanity while warning the U.S. Is prepared to do more here. We have team coverage this Saturday morning but we're going to start with ABC's Alex Marquardt who is in Beirut. Good morning, Alex. Reporter: That's right. Less than 24 hours after the strike it does appear that the Al sharyat air base is back up and running and planes have been seen taking off despite a massive amount of U.S. Firepower, 59 tomahawk cruise missiles and U.S. Officials saying not all of the base's planes or runway were destroyed. New satellite images now revealing the full extent of the heavy American bombardment on the Al sharyat air base. On Friday Syrian military officials gathered shortly after the strike to survey the damage walking through the rubble and charred vehicles. Drone footage released by the Russian defense ministry shows the aftermath of the attack that destroyed aircraft, hangar, ammunition bunkers and air defense systems. Syrian state media said at least six Syrian soldiers and nine civilians were also killed. In total 59 tomahawk cruise missiles were launched from two U.S. Navy warships in the eastern mediterranean sea. It was from this base the Pentagon says that the Syrian army stored and launched an air strike with chemical weapons, a nerve agent that was then dropped on civilians in northern idlib province held by rebel forces. Assad choked out the lives of helpless men, women and children. No child of god should ever suffer such horror. Reporter: More than 80 people were killed over half of them women and children. Russia said that Syria had bombed a rebel chemical facility, the Pentagon now asking whether the Russian government had prior knowledge or was somehow complicit in the horrific chemical attack. Shortly after the attack a drone flew over the site. Then the local hospital where vics were being treated the subject of an air strike unclear whether by Syrian or Russian forces. Now, one of the main American priorities in this strike was not to hit Russian positions or troops which could lead to a significant escalation but there is no doubt that this has severely damaged the already terrible u.s./russia relations calling it a significant blow.
