Putinâs much-publicised appearance at military exercises is marred by missile malfunction on two days running
President Vladimir Putin oversaw one of Russiaâs largest strategic military exercises in years for a second day on Wednesday, and, for a second day, something went wrong. An intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) fired from the nuclear submarine Karelia in the Barents Sea veered wildly off course 98 seconds after launch and then self-destructed, a navy spokesman said. The cause of the malfunction would be investigated.
