Ukraine's two-day missile launches near Crimea have been carried out successfully, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said Thursday.

KIEV (Sputnik) — Moscow has criticized Kiev's missile launches as a threat to the safety of Russian civilian flights to Crimea.

"The first reports have come of successful launches this morning," Poroshenko said, claiming that the missile firings were held in "Ukrainian airspace."

He added that combat and transport aircraft, as well as air defense systems and radio-technical troops took part in the Black Sea region drills.
