Iran test-fired 2 missiles over the weekend – US officials
Iran over the weekend test fired two Fateh-110 short-range ballistic missiles, US officials tell Fox News.
The two officials say one of the missiles was tested successfully, hitting and destroying a barge that was floating offshore about 155 miles away.
The second missed its target, one official is quoted as saying, but hit “in the vicinity.”
The test, conducted Friday and Saturday, was reportedly the first test of Fateh-110 missiles in two years.
One of the officials is quoted as saying it is a matter of “concern” that the latest version of the missile has been outfitted with a new “active seeker.”
“It’s a concern based on the range and that one of the missiles worked,” the anonymous official says.
