China on Friday said it has carried out a land-based midcourse missile interception test. The test 'achieved its expected purpose,' the Defense Ministry said in a brief statement. The test was defensive in nature and not directed at any country, the ministry added. China also conducted a similar test of land-based midcourse missile interception technology last June. Only a few countries in the world currently have this technology, according to China Military Online, the official news website of the Chinese army.
