“The launch of more than 2 thousand holiday fireworks was made from self-propelled combined launchers of salyut of caliber from 105 to 310 millimeters placed on Poklonnaya Hill,” the RIA Novosti press service of the Western Military District reports.
Earlier, Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu called the "provocative step" Russia's decision to arrange a September 22 salute in honor of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Tallinn by Soviet troops from the Nazi invaders.
In turn, the Latvian Foreign Ministry protested because of the salute scheduled for October 13, which is scheduled to be held on the anniversary of the liberation of Riga from the fascists.
