The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the successful launch of the Yars mobile complex rocket from the Plesetsk cosmodrome. The training warheads reached their target in a given area at the Kura training ground in Kamchatka.

RS-24 "Yars" is a strategic complex with a solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile with maneuvering individual guidance units. These complexes are the basis of the ground component of the Russian nuclear triad and a powerful argument for deterring Western countries, experts emphasize.
