(MENAFN) Turkey has successfully tested two indigenous ballistic missiles in the Black Sea province of Sinop, the Anadolou news agency reported.

According to the agency, the short- and medium-range Gokdogan and the long-range Bozgodan were launched at their targets in the Black Sea.

The Turkish military also plans to fire missiles at moving targets from stationary launchers and conduct a series of tests of air-launched missiles later this year.

In May 2017 Turkey tested a domestically manufactured mobile short-range ballistic missile, the Bora (Storm), at its range in Sinop.

Developed by the domestic missile maker Rokestan, the 2.5-ton Bora has a maximum range of 280 kilometers (173 miles) and carries a 470-kilogram (1,036-pound) warhead.
