China has test-launched a ballistic missile with a dummy warhead into the South Pacific Ocean, drawing criticism across the region. Australia, New Zealand, and Japan were notified only hours before the launch, which Beijing described as a routine military exercise. The test came just hours after Australia and Fiji signed a major defence agreement, with Foreign Minister Penny Wong calling the launch destabilising for the region.
