According to Bill Gertz's Pentagon sources, Russia conducted another test of the Nudol ASAT system on Wednesday, May 25, 2016. The test is said to be successful.

This would be the fourth test of the system and the second successful one. No details are available yet, but so far the tests did not seem to involve an intercept attempt (or simulated intercept).

Pavel, do you know which pad they used for the launch of this mobile system? Is it the same as for RS-24, namely site 167?

I don't know, but my guess is that it would be a different launch pad (or TEL?). It's a totally different system.
