Footage shows the mystery intercontinental ballistic launch from the Kapustin Yar test range in Astrakhan region. In an attempt to remain coy and mysterious, the Kremlin refused to disclose the type of missile launched.
’ Residents of Astrakhan, Dagestan and Volgograd regions noticed unusual white traces in the sky. The launch came late on 12 April – which Russia marks as Cosmonautics Day, commemorating the day in 1961 when Yury Gagarin made the world’s first-ever space flight. A launch on the same day one year ago was believed to be a test of a new version of Putin’s Topol range – known for now as Topol-ME.
