Russia Demonstrates Nuclear Capabilities with Submarine-Launched Missile

Russia successfully test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile, capable of carrying nuclear warheads, from one of its submarines. The launch comes as Russia increases its nuclear rhetoric after revoking its ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. The missile, called "Bulava," was fired from an undisclosed location in the White Sea and reached its target on the far eastern Kamchatka peninsula. The West has accused Russia of using reckless nuclear rhetoric since its offensive against Ukraine began, and the recent revocation of the treaty has drawn strong criticism from the United States.
