Moscow said the launch took place at an undisclosed location in the White Sea.
MOSCOW: Russia said today it had successfully test-launched an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads from one of its submarines.
“The new nuclear-powered strategic missile submarine cruiser Emperor Alexander the Third has successfully launched the Bulava sea-based intercontinental ballistic missile,” the defence ministry said. “The missile firing took place in the normal mode from an underwater position,” it said, adding: “The missile heads arrived at the designated area at the appointed time.”
The west has accused Moscow of using reckless nuclear rhetoric since it launched its offensive against Ukraine last February.
