China has conducted a rare anti-ballistic missile test on Friday, Bloomberg is reporting based on China’s defense ministry, which has been hailed as successful.
It’s being described as a land-based, mid-course antiballistic missile technical test, which was of a "defensive nature" and didn’t target any country, according to the military statement.
