No Russians were hurt in Friday's U.S. missile strikes on a Syrian airbase, Russian lawmaker Dmitry Sablin was quoted by Interfax as saying.

Sablin, deputy head of the Military Brotherhood veterans group, said the information was based on his own sources.

The United States fired dozens of cruise missiles at a Syrian airbase on Friday from which it said a deadly chemical weapons attack was launched this week, drawing criticism from Russia.

Meanwhile, Russia's embassy in Damascus said on Friday it has no information yet on whether Russian citizens were hurt as a result of U.S. missile strikes on a Syrian airbase, the RIA news agency reported.

The embassy was looking into the issue, the agency added.
