President Dmitry Medvedev watched the launching of the RS-12M Topol intercontinental ballistic missile from the Plesetsk test ground, which hit a set target in Kamchatka of Russia's Far East.

The nuclear-powered missile submarine Zelenograd of the Pacific Fleet fired a ballistic missile from the Sea of Okhotsk near the Pacific, which hit a target in the Chizha testing ground in northern Russia, Interfax cited naval spokesman Igor Dygalo as saying.

Yekaterinburg of the Northern Fleet, also a nuclear-powered missile submarine, launched another intercontinental missile from the Arctic Barents Sea, which also hit a designated target in the Far East.

The launches of the missiles were part of the month-long Stability 2008 strategic command-post exercise that started on Sept. 22.
