According to the Russia defense ministry, a nuclear-capable missile was successfully launched, as evidenced by a video released on its website.
The new Sarmat super-heavy intercontinental ballistic missile was launched from the Plesetsk spaceport in the north-western Arkhangelsk region and landed in the other side of Russia in the far-eastern Kamchatka peninsula.
President Putin said it was food for thought for those who try to threaten Russia.
