Prior to launch, Japan ‘strongly urged’ China to reconsider missile test in Pacific

The Chinese Navy test-fired a submarine-launched “strategic missile” into the Pacific Ocean on Monday, after Tokyo “strongly urged” Beijing to reconsider the move.

Beijing said the test of the unidentified missile, which “accurately landed in a designated area,” was “a routine part of China’s annual military training, and relevant countries had been notified in advance.”

The launch — conducted with a mock warhead — “complied with international law and practice and was not directed against any specific country or target,” Beijing added.

Further details of the launch, including the exact location it landed, were not immediately clear.
