WASHINGTON - United States Air Force test launched Intercontinental Ballistic Missile days after the North Korean missile launch.
As per the media report, US Air Force tested an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile equipped with re-entry vehicle from a base in California across the Pacific Ocean on Wednesday at 1:13 am.
The missile was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, northwest of Los Angeles and sent a test re-entry vehicle on a 4,200-mile flight over the Pacific Ocean to the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands.
The launch came a day after North Korea test-fired a new submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) from sea, which was confirmed by South Korean officials that the missile was launched from the coast of Wonsan, east of the North Korean capital of Pyongyang.
