Vice Admiral Nils Andreas Stensønes, the head of Norwegian intelligence, stated this, Reuters reports.

"We can confirm that Russia has conducted a new test launch of the long-range cruise missile Skyfall (Burevestnik) on Novaya Zemlya," he noted.

Previously, Moscow had announced a successful test of this missile. The Russians did not specify where the launch occurred but said the weapon "can penetrate any defensive shield."
