China has conducted a test launch of a nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile from a submarine in the Pacific Ocean, with Australia receiving only two hours' notice before the test. The launch occurred near Australian waters, just hours after Australia signed a historic defence pact with Fiji.
