         Russia Reports 'Ballistic Objects' fired in the Mediterranean

   Russian news reports say the Defense Ministry has information about the
   launch of "ballistic objects" fired from the central Mediterranean
   toward the eastern part of the sea.
   News services in Russia quote a Defense Department official saying the
   early warning radar station in southern Russia detected the launches
   early Monday.
   The reports said Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu had informed President
   Putin about the incident.
   The United States is considering launching missiles at Syria to
   retaliate for an alleged chemical attack that took place August 21.
   There were no reports of missile strikes.
