Bhubaneswar: India successfully conducted night trials of two nuclear-capable ballistic missiles, Agni-I and Prithvi-II, off the Odisha coast on Thursday, defence officials confirmed.
The Strategic Forces Command carried out the scheduled operational tests, launching Agni-I from APJ Abdul Kalam Island and Prithvi-II from the Chandipur testing facility. "All operational and technical parameters have been validated," a defence spokesperson announced on social media platform X.
The Agni-I, capable of carrying both nuclear and conventional warheads, is crucial for India's strategic deterrence capabilities. The successful test demonstrates the missile's reliable performance under operational conditions. Prithvi-II reinforces India's short-range ballistic missile arsenal. The missile's strategic positioning allows it to reach key targets within neighbouring regions.
