epa06667948 A handout photo made available by the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) showing a British Royal Air Force (RAF) Tornado pilot checking the weapons on his Tornado aircfraft at RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus, 14 April 2018.The MoD report that four RAF Tornado's took off on 14 April 2018 from RAF Akrotiri to conduct precision strikes on Syrian installations involved in the use of chemical weapons. The Tornados, flown by 31 Squadron the Goldstars, were supported by a Voyager aircraft. They launched Storm Shadow missiles at a military facility – a former missile base – some fifteen miles west of Homs, where the regime is assessed to keep chemical weapon precursors stockpiled in breach of Syria’s obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention. Very careful scientific analysis was applied to determine where best to target the Storm Shadows to maximise the destruction of the stockpiled chemicals and to minimise any risks of contamination to the surrounding area. The facility which was struck is located some distance from any known concentrations of civilian habitation, reducing yet further any such risk.
