The Chinese military conducted a successful test-fire of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) into the Pacific Ocean on Wednesday. The missile, launched by the People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force, carried a simulated warhead and landed accurately in a predetermined area of the high seas. The defense ministry stated that this test was part of the Rocket Force’s annual military training and emphasized that it was conducted in accordance with international law and practice, with no specific target in mind. The ministry assured that the test was not directed against any country. This is an ongoing situation, and further updates are expected.
