VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE >> The U.S. Air Force says an unarmed Minuteman 3 missile has been launched from California's central coast in the latest test of the intercontinental system.
The missile blasted off at 11:34 p.m. PST from Vandenberg Air Force Base northwest of Los Angeles.
"There was a slight delay due to some instruments downrange but it went within the launch window," said Carla Pampe, chief of civic outreach for Air Force Global Strike Command.
