Dep Pent Press Sec Sabrina Singh: “I can confirm that Russia did launch an experimental intermediate-range ballistic missile…The United States was pre-notified briefly before the launch through nuclear risk reduction channels.”

Russia launched a new intermediate-range ballistic missile on Thursday toward Dnipro in Ukraine, an attack that officials in Kyiv initially said was an intercontinental ballistic missile.

The experimental IRBM was based on a Russian RS-26 Rubezh missile, deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh confirmed Thursday during a briefing, without going into any other specific details. She also confirmed that the U.S. was notified “briefly” before the launch.
