My San Antonio:
Russia test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile in its fatr east on Wednesday, according to the Russian defense ministry.
The RS-24 Yars, a solid-fuel missile carrying multiple warheads and equipped with countermeasures, is designed to be launched quickly and to evade missile-defense systems.
The test comes amid rising tensions between Washington and Moscow and as a brewing arms race between the two great powers kicks into high gear.
