Test launch of missile fails again
From Times Wire Reports
An experimental Russian ballistic missile veered off course and fell into the sea shortly after being test-launched from a nuclear submarine, officials said. It was Russia’s second such launch failure in as many months.
The Bulava missile was launched from underwater in the White Sea northeast of St. Petersburg toward a testing range on the Kamchatka peninsula in the far east, but it veered off its flight path minutes after liftoff. The missile broke apart and fell into the sea, the navy said.
