Russia Raises Concerns Over new US Ballistic Missile Test

Reuters

   MOSCOW - Russia said on Friday it was alarmed after the United States
   tested a ground-launched ballistic missile that would have been
   prohibited under the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty, the RIA
   news agency reported.

   The United States carried out the test on Thursday. Washington formally
   withdrew from the 1987 INF pact with Russia in August after determining
   that Moscow was violating the treaty, an accusation the Kremlin has
   denied.

   "It alarms us. Of course we will take this into account," said Vladimir
   Ermakov, head of the foreign ministry's arms control and
   non-proliferation department.
