Russian missile drill triggers false alarm at US military base in Germany 

(CNN)A Russian military exercise triggered an unusual warning at a critical US military base in Germany on Saturday that ballistic missiles had been launched, according to multiple US defense officials. 

The warning at Ramstein Air Base resulted in several minutes of uncertainty and alarm until an all-clear was sounded, according to the officials. 

The initial assessment is that the missile warning may have been triggered when US intelligence satellites detected a launch. 

Highly classified US military satellites that track the infrared trail of ballistic missiles determined that a submerged Russian submarine had test fired four intercontinental missiles from its underwater location in the Sea of Okhotsk off western Russia on Saturday.
