Iran targeted but did not hit US-UK military base with missiles

Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at the ‘Diego Garcia’ US-UK military base in the Indian Ocean but did not hit it, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing multiple US officials.

One of the missiles failed in flight, while a US warship fired an SM-3 interceptor at the other. It could not be determined if the interception succeeded, WJS said. 

The Journal did not specify when the missiles were fired.
