China's secretive $9 billion warship has been spotted in Pacific ocean from space amid fears of WWIII.
The CNS Liaoning, which is the nation's first operational aircraft carrier, was captured by NASA's Landsat 8 satellite as it was docked in the Bohai Sea and conducted sea trials.
The satellite images showed the Liaoning warship docked among other aircraft carriers at a shipyard, while a separate image showed moving out to sea.
US Navy officials have been monitoring the warship, finding its deck measures about 656 feet long and 131 feet wide, making it smaller than other Chinese carriers.
The images were taken days after US President Biden allowed Ukraine to use American missiles to strike China's ally Russia, which has led to fears that a worldwide war is on the horizon.
