Russia has found the most inopportune time to test an intercontinental ballistic missile, according to preliminary unofficial reports.
From what is known so far, Russia may have tested the launch of a "Topol-ME" missile from the Astrakhan region located in the south of the country.
It is believed that the missile was launched from the Kapustin Yar base, although there is no official confirmation of this yet.
The images of the rocket in the sky were filmed by hundreds of citizens not only in the Russian territory but also in some areas of Iraq and Iran, causing panic to spread among the clarifications about the mysterious object.
The test, if confirmed by Russian officials, comes at a time when the media is increasingly reporting an Iranian attack on Israel in retaliation for the destruction of the Iranian consulate in Syria that killed several senior military officials.
