Taiwan Navy Accidentally Fires Missile At Fishing Boat, Killing One

The launch wasn't "politically motivated" but a good analogy for Trump and The United States. Story out of Kaohsiung, Taiwan:

Taiwan's navy mistakenly launched a supersonic anti-ship missile from a naval base, killing one person and injuring three, officials say.

A patrol boat was undergoing a drill inspection in Kaohsiung when the Hsiung Feng III missile was fired, Taiwan's Central News Agency (CNA) reported.

It launched in the direction of mainland China, and hit a fishing boat off the Penghu islands, CNA added.

A Taiwanese official said the launch was not "politically motivated".

The missile flew about 75km before hitting the boat. Initial findings indicated it did not explode and sank into the sea.

Taiwanese officials did not say how the missile came to be launched, but suggested it could have been due to human error. Cont.
