A Soyuz-2.1v carrier rocket carrying a military satellite has been launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Friday.

"On Friday, February 9, combat crews of the space forces of the Aerospace Forces launched a light-class launch vehicle Soyuz-2.1v with a spacecraft in the interests of the Russian Ministry of Defense from the State Test Cosmodrome of the Defense Ministry (the Plesetsk cosmodrome) in the Arkhangelsk Region at 10:03 [local time, 07:03 GMT]," the ministry said in a statement.
