China has successfully launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) into the Pacific Ocean, carrying a simulated warhead. The launch, part of a routine training exercise, has sparked attention globally, with concerns over its implications for the US, Taiwan, and Japan. However, China’s Ministry of Defense emphasized that the test was not directed against any specific country. The move is seen as a significant development in China’s nuclear modernization efforts, as noted by international experts.
