World news | The Guardian·Friday, 10 July 2026
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said China's intercontinental ballistic missile test in the Pacific could have caused 'considerable damage' if weaponised. The Solomon Islands PM said he doesn't want to see more countries testing ICBMs in the Pacific, urging China to 'be our friend but don't threaten us'. International criticism grew after China's state news agency reported the test.
Why It Matters
China's military escalation in the Pacific directly affects India's strategic calculations, given ongoing border tensions and India's role in regional security groupings like the Quad.
