Russia successfully test-launched a K65M-R missile on Saturday, the commander of Russia's Strategic Rocket Forces said.
The Strategic Rocket Forces launched the missile from a testing ground at Kapustin Yar in the southern Astrakhan region at 19:40 Moscow time (16:40 GMT), said Nikolai Solovtsov, the commander of the forces.
The main purpose of the launch was to test a uniform warhead for land- and sea-based ballistic missiles and newly developed elements of a system designed to penetrate missile defenses, said Solovtsov.
Since its inception in 1946, the Kapustin Yar testing ground had witnessed 140 launches. Saturday's missile launch was the first one since 1999.
