Vladimir Solovyov, media personality and ally to Russian President Vladimir Putin, recently suggested that Moscow launch a missile strike at the torch of the Statue of Liberty in New York City.

I believe Bedloe's Island, site of the Statue of Liberty, is in New Jersey.

An interstate agreement between New York and New Jersey places Bedloe's Island (the land above low level water mark) within New York while New Jersey retains riparian rights to waters and all submerged land surrounding the island.

It was renamed Liberty Island in 1956. It is federally owned enclave.
