Israel claims joint US missile launch in Mediterranean for 'target practice' ? RT News

Russia’s early warning radars detected the launch of two ballistic rockets in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, Russia’s Defense Ministry stated. Israel later claimed responsibility for firing the target test rockets.

RT's LIVE UPDATES on Syrian 'chemical weapons' crisis

The launch took place at 06:16 GMT Tuesday, according to Russia's Ministry of Defense.

The trajectory of the missiles is reported to have been from the central part of the Mediterranean Sea towards the eastern landmass. Both rockets have allegedly fallen into the sea, RIA Novosti news agency reported.

Russia’s President Putin has already been informed about the incident by Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu.


Dangerous posturing IMO.

Just a FYI.

We could debate the intelligence behind these provocative actions?
Non of us have security clearances to know that intelligence, or if we did, that clearance is under condition not to discuss said intelligence publicly.
