MOSCOW, May 23 (Xinhua) -- Russia's Project 955 Borei-class strategic nuclear submarine Yuri Dolgoruky has successfully test-fired missiles, local reports said Tuesday.

Four Bulava ballistic missiles from the designated area in the White Sea were fired to targets at the Kura range on the Kamchatka Peninsula in far eastern Russia, TASS news agency quoted the Russian North Fleet as saying.

The test confirmed the combat readiness of the Project-955 Borei strategic submarine and the Bulava missile system, said the Russian North Fleet.
