China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ma Zhaoxu on Friday called on the parties concerned to remain calm and exercise restraint over the situation in Syria.
The current situation in Syria is perilous, Ma told a Security Council meeting requested by Russia, adding that it's at a crossroads of war and peace.
Meanwhile, Turkey welcomes air strikes against Syria as an "appropriate" response, a foreign ministry source said on Saturday.
An Israeli official also claimed, U.S.-led strikes in Syria have enforced a red line set for President Bashar al-Assad on the use of chemical weapons.
U.S., British and French forces hit Syria with air strikes early on Saturday in response to a suspected poison gas attack that killed dozens of people last week, in the biggest intervention by Western powers against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The Russian Defense Ministry said the US, the UK and France fired more than 100 cruise missiles at Syria, a significant number of which were intercepted by Syrian air defenses.
On Saturday morning, a group of Syrian people gathered at Umayyad Square in central Damascus to protest the US-led air raids on their homeland.
