India on Wednesday successfully test-fired its Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile ‘Agni 5’ from the Integrated Test Range in Chandipur, Odisha. The Defence Ministry confirmed that the missile validated all operational and technical parameters during the launch. “The test was conducted under the aegis of the Strategic Forces Command,” the Ministry said in a statement. The successful test strengthens India’s deterrence capability and comes as North Korea also test-fired cruise missiles into the sea last week. (PC: HT)
