Kiribati, a Pacific ally of China, criticizes China's unannounced ICBM test in the Pacific Ocean.

Kiribati, a Pacific ally of China, has criticized China's recent intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test, which landed in the Pacific Ocean without prior notice. The nation emphasized that the Pacific is not "isolated pockets of ocean" and opposed the test, which raised concerns among neighboring countries. Kiribati, part of the Pacific Islands Forum, has a history of promoting a nuclear-free region and has seen increasing strategic competition between China and the U.S. since 2022.
