  "account": "Germany successfully tested an Israeli-built LORA ballistic missile in the North Atlantic, military officials announced on Wednesday. The missile, which has a range of up to 500 kilometers and outpaces Germany's cruise missiles in speed, was a response to recent threats from Russia, according to the German defense ministry. This marks a new chapter in deterrence and maritime defense readiness for Germany and its allies. Germany is also working on an upgraded version of its Taurus cruise missile, which will have an even greater range and enhanced capabilities. Currently, Germany has around 600 Taurus missiles with a range of over 500 km, deployable from various fighter jets.",
  "summary": "The test came hours after Berlin blamed Russia for an attempted drone attack on Leipzig/Halle Airport last month and ordered measures in response.",
