The Pentagon on Wednesday said Russia notified the United States ahead of its test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Russia’s first test launch of its Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, a new addition to its nuclear arsenal, was not deemed as a “threat” to the United States and its allies, the Pentagon said.
