Rumors of War - Kings of the East

India test-fires nuclear-capable ballistic missile - UPI.com
UPI reports: "From an island off the Odisha coast Thursday morning, India test-fired its Agni-V, a nuclear-capable ballistic missile that could reach the northern-most parts of China. The test was a success according to India's Minister of Defense Nirmala Sitharaman, who said the range for the Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile Agni-V is 5,000 kilometers, or about 3,100 miles. [...] After the missile is inducted, India will join the United States, Russia, China, France and Britain as the countries with missiles boasting a range more than 3,100 miles."

Comment: It appears that the nuclear arms race in Asia is doing quite well. How will China respond to having their northern cities under threat from Indian nuclear missiles?
