MOSCOW: The Russian military conducted drills of its strategic missile forces on Wednesday, deploying mobile launchers in Siberia in a show of the country’s massive nuclear capability amid the fighting in Ukraine.

As part of the drills, the Yars mobile missile launchers would manoeuvre across three regions of Siberia, Russia’s Defence Ministry said. The movements will involve measures to conceal the deployment from foreign intelligence assets.
