Tension is increasing with Russia over U.S. plans for a new missile shield in Eastern Europe. On Tuesday, Russia says it had successfully test-fired a new intercontinental ballistic missile designed to overcome missile defense systems. The test came as Russian President Vladimir Putin warned a U.S. missile deployment would have consequences.

Russian President Vladimir Putin: “Our point is clear: We consider it harmful and dangerous to turn Europe into a powder keg and to stuff it with new weapons.”
