Bhubaneswar: India on Wednesday successfully conducted a training launch of the nuclear capable Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile, Agni-3 from APJ Abdul Kalam Island off Odisha coast.
The successful test of the surface-to-surface missile was part of routine user training launches carried out under the aegis of the Strategic Forces Command (SFC), an official release said.
The launch was carried out for a predetermined range and validated all operational parameters of the system, it said.
Though the missile has a strike range of more than 3,000 km, it was not known what was the range for the trial.
