The cruise missiles were launched from above the Mediterranean Sea, the statement said. The planes left Russia and covered 11,000 kilometres (6,800 miles), travelling "over the waters of the northern seas and the eastern Atlantic," the ministry said, without explaining why the planes had taken this flight path.
Vadāmās raķetes tika palaistas virs Vidusjūras no bumbvedējiem, kas no Krievijas bija nolidojuši 11 000 kilometru "pāri ziemeļu jūru ūdeņiem un Atlantijas austrumiem", paziņoja ministrija.
