A Russian submarine on Monday successfully test-fired a new ballistic missile from the Barents Sea to the far east of the country, a navy spokesman said.

The Sineva missile was launched from the submerged submarine "towards the Kura test ground in Kamchatka," navy spokesman Igor Dygalo told AFP.

"The head section of the missile reached the test ground on time," he said.

Russian television showed the missile thrusting out of the sea at the start of its trajectory.

The Sineva, which has the NATO classification Skiff SS-N-23 and a range of 8,900 kilometres (5,500 miles), was brought into service by Russia's navy this July.

It is designed to carry four individually targeted warheads, according to the Interfax news agency.
