The Agni Prime can hit targets at a range of 1,000 to 2,000km
India has successfully test-fired a new generation of nuclear-capable ballistic missile – Agni Prime – off the coast of the eastern Indian state of Odisha earlier this week, the military said on Thursday.
The missile has a strike range of 1,000 to 2,000km and is the smallest of the Agni series due to technological advancements, according to Indian media.
The test was conducted jointly by the country's Strategic Forces Command (SFC), which comprises personnel from the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, and the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO).
"The test met all the trial objectives validating its reliable performance, as confirmed from the data captured by a number of range sensors deployed at different locations, including two downrange ships placed at the terminal point," the Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
