Friday morning's airstrike is considered the first response from forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad since the U.S. targeted the Shayrat airbase in Homs' with 59 cruise missiles, the launchpad of Tuesday's gas attack.
Near the central city of Homs, a bomb exploded aboard a bus carrying workers, killing a woman and wounding more than 20, according to state TV and the Observatory.
The United States fired 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles from warships in the Mediterranean at the Shayrat airfield, dealing heavy damage to the base.
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, praised Trump's initial missile strike for sending a message to Assad, Russia, Iran and North Korea that "there's a new administration in charge".
The U.S. missile strike on Syria was extremely reckless and constituted irresponsible use of force.
"If this intervention is limited only to an air base, if it does not continue and if we don't remove the regime from heading Syria, then this would remain a cosmetic intervention", he said.
But the Russians are denying that Assad had anything to do with the chemical attack.
"If he needs to do more, he will do more", Haley said when asked if Trump would order more strikes. "The use of chemical weapons against innocent people will not be tolerated".
US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said in an interview airing Sunday on CNN that until Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is out of power, she doesn't see a political solution to the conflict in Syria.

Monaco's second away goal came via the head of Dortmund defender Sven Bender - who came in place of Bartra in Tuchel's back three. But so far there is no evidence that he was involved in the explosions that injured a player and a police officer.
"We call on Russian Federation to do everything possible to bring about a political settlement in Syria and work with the rest of the global community to ensure that the shocking events of the last week are never repeated".
In response to that attack, President Donald Trump ordered a USA military strike against a Syrian air base where the attack is thought to have originated. Tillerson is due to travel to Moscow on Wednesday for talks with Lavrov.
U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Sunday blamed Russia's inaction for helping fuel a deadly poison gas attack against Syrian civilians last week, saying Moscow failed to carry out a 2013 agreement to secure and destroy chemical weapons in Syria. But a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that the strikes dealt "a significant blow" to relations between Moscow and Washington.
In the span of just a few days, U.S. President Donald Trump appears to have met both his first true foreign policy crisis and his most challenging bilateral summit more smoothly than many had feared he might. Secondly, we don't see a peaceful Syria with Assad in there. He added that the United Nations was "created to support America instead of serving the wronged people".
The Sound and Picture activist group that tracks atrocities by ISIS said the airstrike hit an Internet cafe.
Haley said that the Trump administration's view was that a political solution would not happen with Assad in power, though she stopped short of saying Assad's departure was now official U.S. policy.
The U.S. has been conducting air strikes against Islamic State militants who control territory in eastern and northern Syria, and a small number of U.S. troops are on the ground assisting anti-Islamic State militias. Advisers said he was outraged by heartbreaking images of young children who were among the dozens killed in the chemical attack.
USA officials said they had taken pains to ensure Russian troops were not killed, warning Russian forces in advance and avoiding striking parts of the base where Russians were present.
