Kremlin: American missiles in Norway threaten Russia
Russia criticizes Norway's deployment of American missile systems in the Trøndelag region in central Norway.
The Norwegian armament cannot be seen as anything other than a threat, claims the Russian power headquarters Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov according to state-run Tass.
The missile system in question landed at Værnes airport near Trondheim in connection with a military exercise at the turn of the month, writes the Norwegian Aftenposten. The system is said to have the capacity to fire Tomahawk missiles that can reach large parts of Russia, including Moscow.
- This gives us reason to take additional measures to guarantee our security. Our Defense Ministry, as well as other relevant services, are handling it, Peskov said at a press conference.
