– Associated Press – The Russian Navy on Friday successfully test fired its Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile. The launch was conducted from a submarine in the White Sea, near the border with Finland. The missile reportedly hit a target on the Kamchatka Peninsula, some 6,000 kilometers (3,400 miles) to the east. It marks the second successful firing in a month, further boosting the nation’s weapons program that had become accustomed to embarrassing failures.
