Russia Likely Conducting Low-Yield Nuclear-Weapons Tests, Intel Chief Says

Lt. Gen. Robert Ashley, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, said Wednesday that Russia is likely conducting low-yield nuclear-weapons tests. That’s an indication that Russia doesn’t share the same understanding of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty that the U.S. does.  In the United States’ understanding, the test-ban treaty prohibits any nuclear-weapons experiments that produce yield.
