Israel has conducted a joint weapons test in the Mediterranean with America.
Two missiles were fired from the centre of the sea towards the coastline to check the effectiveness of Israel’s US-funded missile defence system.
The Russian Ministry of Defence said that two “ballistic objects” had been spotted on its early warning radar system at 7:16am BST.
According to Reuters, Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon confirmed the launch, stating that “a successful trial was conducted to test our systems. And we will continue to develop and to research and to equip the IDF (Israel Defence Forces) with the best systems in the world.”
