Russia's President Vladimir Putin said Russia launched a new experimental missile at Ukraine in an apparent response to an American move earlier this week. NBC News' Keir Simmons reports.
The Kremlin said Friday that its attack using a new ballistic missile was a warning to Ukraine's 'reckless' Western allies, the culmination of a week of escalating threats from President Vladimir Putin. As new details emerged about the deepening alliance between Moscow and Pyongyang, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un issued his own nuclear threat to his southern U.S.-backed neighbor and accused Washington of fueling tensions.
' He said it was a second major step toward escalation following the Kremlin's deployment of thousands of North Korean troops. On Friday Kim warned that due to U.S. hostility his region had never faced a greater risk of 'the most destructive thermonuclear war,' according to the KCNA state news agency. And a top official in U.S. ally South Korea shone new light on what Kim may be getting out of his Putin partnership.
