"UK's Trident Missile Test Fails Twice, Raising Concerns About Nuclear Deterrent"
A Trident missile misfired and crashed into the ocean near the British nuclear submarine HMS Vanguard during a test off Florida, marking the second failed launch since 2016. Despite the setback, officials maintain confidence in the UK's nuclear deterrent, emphasizing that the misfire was "event specific" and does not impact the reliability of the wider Trident missile systems. The Ministry of Defence has launched an investigation into the incident, while Labour has expressed concern and called for a statement in Parliament from the Defence Secretary.
