BUENOS AIRES - Argentina is protesting British military exercises in the disputed Falkland Islands.
The Argentine Foreign Ministry delivered a formal written complaint to the British ambassador in Buenos Aires on Friday. The ministry says the military exercises carried out Oct. 18-26 included the launching of Rapier surface-to-air missiles.
The ministry says it will also notify the UN secretary general because the exercises go against UN resolutions that encourage the countries to reach a peaceful solution and abstain from these types of activities in the disputed territories.
