China says test-launched ICBM with ‘dummy warhead’ into Pacific

China has test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) into the Pacific Ocean. It is rare for these tests to be publicly acknowledged and they usually take place in isolated in-land areas rather than at sea. The military says the move was routine and complies with international law. It also said the test wasn't directed at any country or target.
