The United States has no plans of updating its nuclear posture following Russia’s combat test of its new Oreshnik hypersonic intermediate-range missile, Department of Defense Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh has told reporters, Paralel.Az reports citing TASS.

"We haven't seen any adjustments that we've observed in their nuclear posture, and we haven't adjusted our nuclear posture in exchange," she said.

The spokeswoman confirmed that Russia had notified the United States not long before the launch of Oreshnik.

"The United States was pre-notified briefly before the launch through Nuclear Risk Reduction channels," she said.
