MOSCOW, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- Russia carried out a successful test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile from the Sea of Okhotsk, Itar-Tass reported Friday.

A nuclear-powered submarine, the St. George the Victorious, fired the missile from the Sea of Okhotsk, which borders Asian Russia on the east, the Defense Ministry announced. The warheads struck their targets on Cape Kanin Nos on the White Sea, which borders European Russia on the north.

Earlier this week, Russia carried out its first test of a Bulava strategic missile, which was launched from the submarine Dmitri Donskoy. The dummy warhead hit the target at Kura on the Kamchatka Peninsula, Pravda reported.
