Moscow, April 14 (IANS/RIA Novosti) The Iranian military has successfully test-fired three new domestically produced missiles, the Fars News Agency has reported.

“Three types of missiles developed by the Army and the Defence Industries have been successfully test-fired in the Ground Force’s recent wargames,” said Lt. Gen. Kioumars Heydari, commander of the army’s Ground Forces.

The general gave no further information about the missiles, describing them only as ground-to-ground missiles that are “different from the Naze’at 10 and Fajr missiles in type”.
