China has said it test-launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) into the Pacific Ocean.

The ICBM, carrying a dummy warhead, was launched by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Rocket Force at 8.44am (00:55 GMT) on Wednesday and “fell into expected sea areas”, the Chinese Ministry of Defence said in a statement.
