Topol launch from Kapustin Yar

Although there was nothing in the news, it appears that the Rocket Forces conducted a Topol launch from Kapustin Yar on November 11, 2014. The event is listed in Jonathan McDowell's list of suborbital launches.

It appears that the reason the launch was not reported at the time is that it was a failed launch.
