US Says Russia May Have Violated Missile Treaty
A 1987 treaty concerning medium-range missiles
The Obama administration is concerned that Russia may have violated a key arms control treaty by testing a ground-launched cruise missile.
The State Department said Thursday the concerns have been raised with Russian authorities and shared with NATO allies. However, department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said it has not yet been determined whether the Russian activity, which dates back to 2008, is an actual violation of a 1987 treaty banning medium range missiles.
