Russian President
Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that a deadly blast at a military site in northern
Russia earlier this month had taken place during the testing of what he called promising new weapons systems.
Putin said that
Moscow could not reveal everything about the blast because of its military nature, but that information exchanges about such accidents should be improved.
"When it comes to activities of a military nature, there are certain restrictions on access to information," Putin told a news conference in Helsinki, standing alongside Finnish President Sauli Niinisto.
