Yahoo Autos China Test Fires Nuclear-Capable Missile into the South China Sea
China has apparently fired an intercontinental ballistic missile into the South China Sea, a provocative weapon test that-contrary to official statements-was likely meant to send a message to the United States and its neighbors in the region.
News of the test, which was carried out on April 12th, had been leaked to the Washington Free Beacon. On April 19th, the Beacon reported that two warheads carried by the missile had been tracked by U.S. satellites and regional sensors.
