Oct 8, 2015 http://edition.cnn.com/2015/10/08/politics/russian-missiles-syria-landed-iran/ A number of cruise missiles fired from a Russian warship towards targets in Syria have reportedly crashed in Iran. At least four missiles fell as they flew over Iran, two US officials said citing military and intelligence information. It remains unclear whether anyone was injured in the reported incident on Wednesday, or where the rockets landed in Iran. However, it is likely the bombs hit a north-western region, as Russia has sent missiles headed for Syria across the area and over Iraq. Russia's Defence Ministry declined to comment on the reports on Thursday. On Wednesday, the Russian government said it had launched 26 cruise missles, which successfully hit targets in north and northwest Syria. However, it did not say that any missiles went astray. Russia stepped up its military campaign in Syria on Wednesday, when it began directing missiles from warships in the Caspian Sea.
