A number of short-range ballistic
missiles had been launched inside Syria this week, a NATO official
said on Wednesday.
"Allied intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets have
detected the launch of a number of unguided, short-range ballistic
missiles inside Syria this week," the official told Xinhua by phone.
"We do not know the details of the missiles, but trajectory and
distance travelled indicate they were Scud-type missiles. The
missiles were fired from inside Syria and they impacted inside
Syria," he said.
The NATO official said no missile landed in Turkish territory and
the military alliance had no information about casualties and damage
on the ground.
However, the news cannot be verified from the Syrian side at
present.
