The indigenous missiles have already been distributed to the military and are ready for operation, the news source added.
A military policy white paper issued by China earlier this year, claimed that the missile programme was aimed mainly at deterrence, but also said that the army would be capable of conducting nuclear counter-attacks and precision strikes with conventional missiles.
