Radio Free Europe has an item about the Russian military reportedly holding unannounced missile drills on Wednesday, which included the test-firing of missiles from the Delta IV-class ballistic missile submarine Bryansk in the northern Barents Sea, and the Delta III-class boat Svyatoy Georgiy Pobedonosets from the Sea of Okhotsk, in the country’s Far East.

Both missiles are said to have hit their targets in Northern Russia and on the Kamchatka Peninsula, respectively, according to the report.

The missiles were fired while the submarines were submerged, though reports did not indicate which type of missiles were fired.
