Russian cruise missile crashed on building
MOSCOW: A Russian cruise missile launched as part of a failed military exercise fell on a residential building on Tuesday, the Defence Ministry said. The missile, which was being tested, "deviated from its trajectory and fell close to the town of Nyonoksa", nearly 1,000km north of here. While there were no casualties, the missile crash did start a fire, damaging all four flats in a two-storey building in the town, according to local media reports cited by TASS news agency. An experimental surface-to-air missile in April crashed on launch in the same northern region of Arkhangelsk. Agencies
