The Russian Defense Ministry has published a video showing the latest test-launch of its new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) at Plesetsk spaceport in the north of the country.
The 23-second clip showed the Sarmat missile lift off the ground and disappear in a cloud of white smoke.
The missile was successfully fired for the second time since tests began in December 2017. It will replace the Soviet-built Voevoda ICBM, which is approaching the end of its service life.
