An unarmed Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missile was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California at 12:03 am. The test launch delivered a single re-entry vehicle to a target approximately 6,579 kms in the Pacific Ocean. Such tests are conducted regularly but the timing of the launch this time, while US has been warning North Korea for it’s test launches, has been criticized strongly.
What is needed is diplomacy rather than military provocations. Threats, whether in the form of tweets, nuclear-capable missile launches, only increase the dangers.
The previous test-launch for Minutemman 3 missile was in early February.
US at it’s best. Coming in with the show of power.
