Russia Tests 'Advanced' ICBM with Successful Target Hit

Russia successfully tested an "advanced" intercontinental ballistic missile, according to the country's defense ministry. The missile test follows Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to suspend his country's last remaining nuclear arms control pact with the United States. Putin also announced in February that he will deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. The Russian Defense Ministry did not specify what type of missile was used in the launch, but it referred to the exercise as a way to "test advanced combat equipment of intercontinental ballistic missiles."
