China has loaded more than 100 intercontinental ballistic missiles(ICBMs) into three silos near its border with Mongolia.

Reuters reported the development on Monday, citing a draft assessment by the U.S. Department of War.

According to the draft, the department believes China is likely to have placed more than 100 solid‑fueled DF‑31 ICBMs in silo sites located near the Mongolian border.

The Pentagon prepares an annual report on China’s military capabilities for submission to Congress, though this year’s assessment has not yet been formally released.

The draft also said there were no indications Beijing is willing to engage in comprehensive arms control talks, concluding that China shows little interest in participating in such negotiations.
