Norway's military intelligence service said on Monday that Russia's test last week of the nuclear-powered Burevestnik long-range cruise missile was launched from the Arctic Barents Sea archipelago of Novaya Zemlya.
Russia stated on Sunday it had successfully tested the 9M730 Burevestnik (Storm Petrel) - dubbed the SSC-X-9 Skyfall by NATO - a nuclear-capable weapon Moscow says can pierce any defence shield, but did not say where the launch took place.
"We can confirm that Russia has conducted a new test launch of the long-range cruise missile Skyfall (Burevestnik) on Novaya Zemlya," Vice Admiral Nils Andreas Stensoenes, head of Norway's Intelligence Service, told Reuters in an emailed statement.
