Russia has denied US claims that four of its Syria-bound cruise missiles that were fired from the Caspian Sea crashed in Iran.
According to ABC News, Russian ministry spokesman General Igor Konashenkov said that it is obvious to any professional that target before and after impact are always fixed during such operations.
An anonymous US official said that the missiles landed in Iran on Wednesday.
The official did not provide details about where they might have landed or whether they caused any damage.
The US official did not mention exactly what type of cruise missiles went down, except to say that they were among the salvo fired from the Caspian Sea.
