Daily Express: US testing of Minuteman III missiles poses risk of escalation

According to author Ellie Cook, the United States carried out missile launches demonstrating the readiness of nuclear forces.

The title of the article states that such actions "create a huge risk of military escalation."

Earlier, the United States held a training launch of the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) postponed due to tensions around Taiwan.

The launch of the rocket was also postponed in April - US Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said that this was done to avoid tension with Russia in the nuclear field.
