China's state-owned media reported that the country's Central Theater Command Air Force successfully intercepted two ballistic missiles, including one that changed course mid-flight, using its upgraded HQ-9B surface-to-air missile system. The claim comes after the system's poor performance during clashes with India in May 2025. However, the veracity of the claims cannot be independently confirmed due to lack of technical details and data.
