Russia says it completed a successful test-launch of a new RS-24 Yars intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, from a silo, hitting a target 3,700 miles away.
“The main purpose of the launch is to confirm the reliability of rockets of the same class. The warheads successfully reached their target – the Kura testing range in Kamchatka. All aims of the test were achieved,” said a statement from Russia’s Defense Ministry, according to Russia-backed RT.com.
