DUBAI (Reuters) – Iranian air defences fired a missile as a part of an exercise on Saturday over the central town of Natanz, which homes nuclear installations, state TV reported, after native residents reported listening to a big blast.
The TV mentioned air defence models fired the missile to check a fast response drive over Natanz.
