'Stray Syrian anti-aircraft missile' hits northern Cyprus
|
| Yesterday we had possibilities reported here. Now we know. |
 [BBC] A stray Russian-made missile apparently launched by Syria hit the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus overnight, officials say.
Foreign Minister Kudret Ozersay said the air defence missile was thought to have been launched during suspected Israeli air strikes on Syria.
The projectile struck a mountainside north of Nicosia, 225km (140 miles) from the Syrian coast, sparking a fire.
But residents told Cypriot media they had seen a light in the sky and then heard three loud explosions. "The first assessment is that a Russian-made missile... which was part of the air defence system that took place last night in the face of an air strike against Syria, completed its range and fell into our country after it missed," Mr Ozersay wrote in a post on Facebook.
The explosions were likely to have happened before impact because there was no crater, he added. "The pieces that fell to several different points prove that the missile exploded in the air before it crashed."
