I don't think the article implies a warhead at all, just an ICBM test.
I think the USA was (test) firing their own IBCM's in 2012 and 2013.

Well the Dow Jones really hasn't plummeted at all. When it drops 500+ points for 3 or more consecutive days I would say it is starting to plummet, but this latest is nothing. The rest of it is moderately ominous though.

I was not meaning to be a jerk, I just interpreted the article differently.
As for missile launches, I am old and remember it as a common cold war event. I do not expect it to be followed by a nuclear war, I see it more as an international show of strength.
