The Chinese military conducted a successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile on Wednesday, launching it into the Pacific Ocean. The missile, carrying a simulated warhead, was launched by the People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force and landed in a predetermined area of the high seas. The test was described as a routine part of the Rocket Force’s annual military training and was said to be in line with international law and practice, not directed against any specific country or target. The Chinese defense ministry stated that updates on the situation would be provided as it develops.
