The United States military confirmed on Friday that it carried out a test of an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile at the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on February 9 at 11:01 pm PT.

"These test launches demonstrate the readiness of US nuclear forces and provide confidence in the lethality and effectiveness of the nation's nuclear deterrent," Space Launch Delta 30 Vice Commander Colonel Bryan Titus noted.

"Such tests have occurred over 300 times before, and this test is not the result of current world events," the Air Force Global Strike Command claimed in a statement.
