Russia’s
missile tracking system detected the launch of two ballistic rockets in
the central Mediterranean, state-run RIA Novosti reported, citing
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
The missile trajectory suggested the rockets were headed toward targets in the eastern Mediterranean, Shoigu was cited as telling President Vladimir Putin today, according to RIA. The launch was detected by Russia’s radar station in Armavir at 10:16 a.m. Moscow time, according to the news service.
No one at the Defense Ministry picked up the phone when Bloomberg called. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev’s spokeswoman, Natalya Timakova, told reporters near Moscow that Shoigu met Putin to inform him of the missile launch. Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, declined to comment.
