Moscow : A Yars RS-24 intercontinental ballistic missile has failed a test launch, Russia’s Space Forces confirmed Wednesday.
The missile was launched Tuesday from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, 800 km from Moscow.
The launch was the first of a prototype modification of the missile. The test concerned a new warhead for the solid-fuel missile.
“The firing from Plesetsk on September 27 was part of testing by the manufacturer of a new series of missiles,” Space Forces spokesman Colonel Alexei Zolotukhin said.
