What probably happened was they launched them over Iran towards Syria and they either blew up or didn't have enough fuel/dead motors.
ETA: If they were launched from the Caspian Sea, anywhere else, and well, that's like knocking over the guy handing out shoes at the bowling alley while you're throwing darts in the bar next door. |

My bet is that neither side is really to worried about it.
After all, they have for all intents and purposes, very similar goals. Accident will happen, and both of the parties included aren't shy from allowing accidents while furthering the cause |

They couldn't make small warheads. So their missles had a heavy lift capability. So they were huge, and had to be placed in the open, and they took about 18 hours to get ready for launch. By contrast, our missles were small, hardened, and ready to launch in about 15 minutes. However, they had a platform ready to launch a large load into space. Because they needed it because they were technically behind us. Back in the day few knew this and hence there was a huge panic about them passing us technically. It resulted in garbage like "new math". |

Firing from the Caspian Sea those missiles must have hit at least 400 or 500 miles short. Talk about a short round.

They're a good bit behind us in the really advanced stuff. That is why the new Flankers use some French avionics, ect. But they do occasionally bring out some decent tech. But on the whole, they're behind the west. Not just in equipment but in training. I'm sure you'd know more about this than me though.
