In a bold display of strategic military prowess, India successfully test-fired its Agni 5 intermediate-range ballistic missile on Wednesday. The missile, capable of traveling up to 5,000 km, was launched from the Integrated Test Range in Odisha's Chandipur, the defense ministry confirmed.
The Agni 5 launch, overseen by the Strategic Forces Command, demonstrated compliance with all operational and technical criteria. This test follows a military clash with Pakistan three and a half months ago, emphasizing India's readiness to respond to regional threats.
The validation of the Agni 5 adds to India's expanding missile range, which includes previously deployed Agni 1-4 missiles and the recently tested Prithvi-II, Agni-I, and tactical missile Pralay. These developments underline India's continued commitment to strengthening its national defense capabilities.
