Yes. All countries with nuclear weaponry do, allies and enemies alike. Not just from land-based silos, but nuclear submarines can launch nuclear warheads from anywhere in the world's oceans.
Nuclear weapons are not an offensive weapon, they are more or less a defensive weapon.
Having nuclear weapons is a warning to your enemies. "We have nuclear weapons too, so if you drop a nuclear bomb on us, we can do the same to you".
The only time they have been used as an offensive weapon is against Japan in World War Two. Nowadays they are just a method of defence, a psychological warning aimed at other countries with nuclear weaponry.
However, other than a national defence method, nuclear weapons can also be used as a planetary defence method, to defend the Earth from asteroids on a crash-course with us. A multi-national effort can be put together amongst nuclear-ready nations to destroy the asteroid before it collides with Earth and wipes out all life.
