The launch of a long-range missile carrying a dummy warhead landed in the Pacific Ocean as regional tensions run high.

China said on Wednesday it had successfully conducted a rare launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile into the Pacific Ocean, a move likely to raise international concerns about the country's nuclear build-up.
