(Worthy News) – China on Wednesday conducted a flight test of an anti-ship ballistic missile into the South China Sea, just as the Trump administration was unveiling new sanctions on Chinese officials over militarization in the disputed waterway.
The test of two missiles, a DF-26 and a DF-21D — road-mobile missiles with enough precision to strike a ship at sea — landed in the sea near Hainan Island and the Paracels, according to Chinese press reports.
Disclosure of the missile firing followed the earlier announcement by the State Department that the Commerce Department had imposed economic sanctions on 24 Chinese companies for their role in militarizing disputed islands in the South China Sea. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also announced sanctions against Chinese executives of companies involved in building up the disputed islands and deploying military weapons and facilities on them.
