A U.S. intercontinental ballistic missile test that was initially postponed in early March to avoid "misinterpretation" by Russia was recently canceled, the Department of the Air Force said Friday.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin originally delayed the routine test flight of an LGM-30G Minuteman III missile after Russia put its nuclear deterrent forces on astate of heightened alert.
"The launch had been previously delayed due to an overabundance of caution to avoid misinterpretation or miscommunication during the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and was cancelled for the same reason," the Air Force said in a statement. "Our next planned test flight is later this year. The Department is confident in the readiness of the strategic forces of the United States."

Ukraine, Russia hold talks on proposed security guarantee treaty
Russian and Ukrainian negotiators continued peace talks virtually on Friday, Mykhailo Podolyak, a chief negotiator for the Ukrainians, told ABC News.
"On the table is the key document proposed by the Ukrainian delegation - the Treaty on Security Guarantees," Podolyak said. This proposed agreement provides for the possibility of exit from the war and the prevention of future conflicts.
Ukraineproposed a new system of security guaranteessimilar to NATO's collective defense clause which would legally require "guarantor countries" to provide arms and impose a "no-fly" zone over Ukraine, in the event of an attack.
Both sides are working on the legal wording of the basic provisions of the contract, Podolyak said.
"The discussion is extremely difficult, since the negotiating positions of the parties are strongly influenced by the daily change in the military situation on all lines of contact," Podolyak said.
