I missed it. No missiles compromised. So much for the invincible Russian missile defence system.

The American, British and French numbers are out.

"At a Pentagon briefing on Saturday, Lt Gen Kenneth McKenzie listed the three targets that had been struck in a "precise, overwhelming and effective" manner:

The Barzah chemical weapons research and development centre near Damascus was hit by 76 missiles, 57 of them Tomahawk cruise missiles, and "destroyed".

The Him Shinshar chemical weapons storage facility near Homs was hit by 22 missiles - nine US Tomahawks, eight British Storm Shadows and five naval cruise missiles and two Scalp cruise missiles launched by France.

The Him Shinshar chemical weapons bunker facility near Homs was targeted with seven Scalp missiles and was "successfully hit".

Gen McKenzie said the "initial indications are that we accomplished the military objectives without interference from Syria"."

Doesn't sound like many were stopped. It sounds like there were 105 missiles and at least 99 (and probably all) of them hit their target (only the Homs Him Shinshar bunker numbers are unclear).
