Parallel to this recent development, one of the US destroyers used in the tomahawk missile attack began heading to an undisclosed location to resupply.
A diplomatic source in Moscow told TASS, a Russian news agency, that the warship would be making a stop at a Syrian base.

The Admiral Grigorovich's presence in the mediterranean will last longer than a month, according to the source.
