Poland concerned about Russian missiles sent to Kaliningrad
None
WARSAW- Poland said Saturday it is highly concerned that Russia has moved nuclear-capable Iskander ballistic missiles into Kaliningrad, a Russian region on Poland's northeastern border.
Russia, meanwhile, says the missiles are being deployed as part of regular military maneuvers to Kaliningrad.
Polish Defense Minister Antoni Macierewicz said Poland considers the matter of "highest concern" and is monitoring the situation.
The Iskander, which can be equipped with a conventional or a nuclear warhead, has a range of 500 kilometers (310 miles), placing most of Poland within its reach when they are in Kaliningrad. The development comes amid heightened tensions between Russia and the West over Syria.
