China has launched two missiles on Wednesday morning into the South China Sea, sending a clear warning to the US, a report says. Both were fired into an area between Hainan province and the Paracel Islands, according to South China Morning Post. 'This is China's response to the potential risks brought by the increasingly frequent incoming US warplanes and military vessels in the South China Sea,' the source said to the Hong Kong-based newspaper. China is also holding naval drills in the South China Sea, which it claims virtually in its entirety but over which five other governments also exercise claims.
