Astonishing footage shows what is suspected to be the first use by Russia of an intercontinental ballistic missile in warfare.
Reports say it was fired from Kapustin Yar test range in Russia’s Astrakhan region and at the Yuzhmash defence plant in Dnipro.
It is claimed that the flashes seen on the video are six separate warheads of a R-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile.
