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.

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