Russian frigate Admiral Gorshkov has successfully test-fired a Tsirkon hypersonic cruise missile from the White Sea, and the missile hit a target that was located at a distance of more than 400 kilometers, Russia’s Defense Ministry said. The Tsirkon missile has been test-fired several times from the Admiral Gorshkov frigate and Severodvinsk nuclear-powered submarine. It was reported that the missile is planned to be integrated into ships and submarines of the Russian navy. The missile is 9 times faster than sound and has a range of 1,000 kilometers.
Seven people linked to the opposition Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) were detained in anti-terror raids across Armenia. Authorities seized explosives, detonators, radios, and other materials in what they described as a foiled terrorist plot.
Armenia’s Investigative Committee stated that one suspect faces charges related to preparing a terrorist attack, and the investigation is ongoing. Local media say all detainees are members of the Dashnaktsutyun party.
The arrests follow the June 25 detention of Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, leader of the opposition “Holy Struggle” movement, which the government accuses of planning terrorist acts and a power grab. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said security forces had stopped an attempt to destabilize the country.
