Washington, 6 abr (EFE).- Fuerzas militares de EEUU lanzaron hoy decenas de misiles crucero contra un aeródromo en Siria, lo que supone el primer ataque directo estadounidense contra el Gobierno del presidente Bachar Al Asad desde que comenzó la guerra civil en ese país, informaron varios medios estadounidenses.
El ataque por parte de EEUU se dio después de que este miércoles se produjera un bombardeo con armas químicas en una localidad al norte de siria, en el que fallecieron decenas de personas. 
The U$ Navy launched an attack of 60 Tomahawks missiles at the military airport in Syria Shayrat minutes ago. Then note the Agency Efe.Washington, 6 APR (EFE).-us military forces today launched dozens of missiles cruise against an aerodrome in Syria, which is the first direct American attack against the Government of President Bashar Al-Assad since that started the civil war in that country, various US media reported. The attack by the US came after this Wednesday there is a bombardment with chemical weapons in a village north of Syria, in which dozens of people died.
The Trump administration signaled Thursday that it seeks to remove Bashar Assad from power in Syria, an apparent reversal after a suspected chemical attack that the White House has blamed on the Syrian government.
President Donald Trump told reporters Thursday that "something should happen" with the Syrian president following the attack, which left dozens dead, including children.
"I think what happened in Syria is a disgrace to humanity. He's there and I guess he's running things, so something should happen," Trump told reporters while flying to a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
In a separate news conference Thursday afternoon, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Assad's actions suggest "it would seem there would be no role for him to govern the Syrian people." Just last week, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said that Assad's hold on power in Syria was a "political reality that we have to accept."
The top American diplomat also urged the Russian government to "consider carefully their continued support for the Assad regime." Tillerson added that "steps are underway" for a possible international effort to remove Assad.
Their statements came as multiple outlets reported the Trump administration is mulling a possible military response to the attack in Syria. Defense Secretary James Mattis will brief Trump on military options at Mar-a-Lago later Thursday, NBC News reported, citing a U.S. official.
The potential actions include grounding all Syrian aircraft, strikes against Syrian air defenses, and targeting strikes against the people responsible for the suspected chemical attack, according to NBC.
The Defense Department worries U.S. forces already in the region offering assistance in the fight against the Islamic State terror group could become targets, NBC added.
On Wednesday, Trump said the attack "crossed a lot of lines" but did not go into detail about what actions he would take in response.
Tillerson said Thursday that the U.S. is considering an "appropriate response" in Syria.
The secretary of state and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley increased pressure on Russia following the massacre in Syria. Russia, which has backed the Assad regime, blamed the attack on Syrian rebels.
The Syrian government has also said it had nothing to do with the attack.
