Russia's Vladimir Putin has said America's latest missile test has raised new threats and will warrant a response from Moscow.
The missile test on Sunday would have been banned under a now-defunct arms treaty.
The Pentagon confirmed it tested a modified ground-launched version of a Navy Tomahawk cruise missile, which hit its target more than 310 miles (499km) away.
It follows the pull-out of both Washington and Moscow from the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, which prohibited the use of such weapons.
The Russian president spoke after talks with Finnish leader Sauli Niinisto on Wednesday.
Mr Putin argued that the quick test indicated that America had begun working on the missile long before declaring its intention to abandon the pact.
The Russian leader said the test signalled "the emergence of new threats, to which we will react accordingly".
