Russia says US missile strike on Syria was a threat to its forces

MOSCOW, Apr 26 (Reuters) Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu complained today that a US missile strike on a Syrian air base earlier this month had posed a threat to Russian troops and was forcing Moscow to take extra measures to protect them.
Speaking at a security conference in Moscow, Shoigu restated Russia's view that the strike -- which Washington conducted in response to what it said was a deadly chemical weapons attack by Syrian government forces -- was "a crude violation of international law."
US officials said at the time that they had informed Russian forces ahead of the strikes. No Russian personnel were injured in the attack.
