Russia has conducted a launch of an RS-20 Voyevoda (SS-18 Satan) intercontinental ballistic missile from a silo in the Urals.

The press service of the Strategic Missile Forces said "..the launch has been conducted to put a U.S. Genesis satellite into orbit, and to test technical characteristics of the missile"
