MOSCOW - The Russian military successfully test launched a Sineva ballistic missile from a submarine in the Arctic on April 26, the Interfax news agency quoted a Defense Ministry spokesman as saying.

"The launch was carried out from underwater in the Barents Sea from the Yekaterinburg nuclear submarine. At the expected hour, the payload of the Sineva missile arrived at the Kura range in Kamchatka" in Russia's Far East, spokesman Igor Konashenkov said.

The Sineva is an intercontinental submarine-launched ballistic missile that entered service in 2007 and has a range of more than 6,800 miles (11,000 kilometers).
