U.S. Conducts Successful Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Test

The US Air Force conducted a successful test launch of an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The missile's re-entry vehicle traveled 4200 miles to the Pacific Ocean near the Marshall Islands. The test, using a spare missile from storage, aimed to verify the missile's accuracy and reliability. These tests are planned well in advance and are not reactions to current events. Additional test launches are scheduled for the coming years.
