The World : Soviet Missile Said to Stray

A Soviet submarine-launched missile aimed toward a testing range on the Kamchatka Peninsula in northeastern Siberia misfired last Thursday and landed near the Sino-Soviet border, more than 1,500 miles off course, U.S. defense and congressional sources said. The sources said they believe that the unarmed missile landed in Chinese territory near the Manchurian border about 180 miles west of the Soviet city of Khabarovsk. They said that U.S. and Chinese officials have discussed the incident but that the United States does not know if China recovered any portions of the errant dummy warhead.
