The Russian Defense Ministry reported a test launch of an Iskander ballistic missile. The launcher of the Eastern Military District hit an important target at Kapustin Yar range. The launch is likely the beginning of a large-scale series of missile tests that will last up to mid-September at Sary-Shagan and Kapustin Yar ranges, the Military-Industrial Courier writes.
