The Chinese navy has tested its new guided-missile destroyer, Xining, in a first-ever live-fire exercise.
The full-on drill was carried out on the Yellow Sea, which is situated between China and the Korean Peninsula.
Footage of the exercise was broadcast yesterday on the China Central Television Station (CCTV) as Beijing urged North Korea to give up its nuclear ambitions amid growing military tensions.
North Korea threatened to launch weekly missile tests yesterday after US Vice President Mike Pence warned that the ‘era of patience’ with Kim Jong-un is over.
