LOS ANGELES Cheap Nike Air Max Online , Aug. 2 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Air Force launched an unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) early Wednesday from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.


The Minuteman III missile, the only U.S. land-based ICBM in service, was fired at 2:10 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time (0910 GMT) from Vandenberg Air Force Base, located nearly 130 miles (209 kilometers) northwest of Los Angeles in western coast of the United States.


It's the fourth Minuteman III ICBM launched from Vandenberg this year.

The reentry vehicle contained a telemetry package used for operational testing.


"While not a response to recent North Korean actions, the test demonstrates that the United States' nuclear enterprise is safe Cheap Air Max 2018 Online , secure, effective and ready to be able to deter, detect and defend against attacks on the United States and its allies," said the U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command in a statement on its official website.

There are about 450 Minuteman III ICBMs in service in the United States. U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command routinely conducts ICBM test launches from Vandenberg to validate the effectiveness Cheap Nike Air Max 2017 , readiness and accuracy of the weapon system.


The latest ICBM test of U.S. Air Force comes amid growing tensions between the United States and Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), only days after a successful test-firing of an intercontinental ballistic missile by DPKR last Friday.


The Missile Defense Agency of the United States successfully test fired an interceptor missile on May 30 which is designed to shoot incoming missile over Pacific from Vandenberg Air Force Base.

RIO DE JANEIRO, May 30 (Xinhua) -- Uncapped Internacional full-back Geferson has been drafted into Brazil's Copa America squad after an injury to Real Madrid's Marcelo, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said in a statement.


Marcelo was ruled out of the June 11-July 4 tournament in Chile after suffering a back problem during training.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- China has taken effective actions to protect wetlands and wildlife along the coastline of the country, Science magazine on Tuesday praised the determination of the Chinese central government.


China's State Oceanic Administration (SOA) announced in its statement on Jan. 17 that it will dramatically curb commercial development of coastal wetlands, as well as nationalize already reclaimed wetlands that have not yet been built on.


"This represents a true 'sea change' in the official attitudes to the very large Cheap Nike Air Max , and internationally shared, biodiversity values of the shorelines of China," Theunis Piersma, an ecologist of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands told Science magazine.


Wildlife along the coastal areas also benefit from China's moves. Those wetlands particularly in the Yellow Sea are at the midpoint between East Asia and Australia, which are crucial for migratory birds between Siberia and Australia.


Ecologists also pointed that national wetlands protection laws are needed in China Cheap Air Max 2017 , and penalties for damaging these wetlands need to be strengthened.


It will be important to win over locals by demonstrating the benefits of tidal wetlands, including nature tourism and flood protection, said Nicola Crockford of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds in Britain.


Early in 2015, China created a "red line" to protect 53 million hectares of wetlands, and in 2016 Cheap Air Max 2018 , SOA created 16 marine parks, bringing the total area with various levels of protection to about 124,000 square kilometers, according to the administration.
