by Staff Writers
Moscow (AFP) May 22, 2018

A Russian nuclear submarine on Tuesday successfully fired four Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile from the White Sea on Russia's northwestern coast, the military said in a statement quoted by state news agencies.

The Yury Dolgoruky submarine fired the missiles from underwater in the White Sea to hit a military test ground on the far eastern Kamchatka peninsula, the navy's northern fleet said, TASS state news agency reported.

The navy said it was the first time it had fired such a number of missiles from this type of submarine.

The Yury Dolgoruky is a 14,720-tonne craft from the fourth-generation Borei class of strategic submarines and was built to carry the Bulavas, which are intercontinental nuclear-capable missiles. The submarine was first tested at sea in 2009.
