AS REPORTED BY CNN:
A
number of cruise missiles launched from a Russian ship and aimed at
targets in Syria have crashed in Iran, two U.S. officials told CNN
Thursday.
Monitoring by
U.S. military and intelligence assets has concluded that at least four
missiles crashed as they flew over Iran. One official said there may be
casualties, but another official said this is not yet known.
It’s unclear
where in Iran the missiles landed. The Russian ships have been
positioned in the south Caspian Sea, meaning the likely flight path for
missiles into Syria would cross over both Iran and Iraq.
The Russians have been firing a relatively new cruise missile called “Kaliber,” using it for the first time in combat.
Iran’s
semi-official FARS news agency, however, said that neither Russian nor
Iranian authorities have confirmed the U.S. officials’ information at
this point. READ MORE HERE
