Footage of China's ICBM launch revealed...Presumptive of 'Dongpeng-31AG'

The Chinese military has released photos of intercontinental ballistic missiles and ICBMs launched into the Pacific Ocean for the first time in 44 years.

On its official Weibo account, the Chinese military posted three photos of the missiles flying up from a cylindrical vertical launch pad, firing fire.

Although the launch vehicle is not fully visible due to the terrain, it is believed to be an improved version of the solid-fuel ICBM Dongfeng-31, which has been deployed since 2006.

It is a multi-warhead nuclear weapon that can strike all over the United States by extending its range to 11,000 kilometers with the so-called "Dongfeng-31AG."

Earlier, China's rocket forces said they successfully launched an ICBM equipped with a simulated warhead into the Pacific Ocean at 8:44 a.m. local time yesterday.

Japan's public broadcaster NHK, citing sources, said China had informed the U.S. and Australia of the launch drills in advance, adding that an ICBM may have landed on the air around Australia.
