BHUBANESWAR, Dec 20: India tested its Trishul anti-aircraft missile on Saturday for the fourth time in three days, a defence spokesman said.

The Trishul was fired from a mobile launcher at a moving airborne target from the testing range in Chandipur, Orissa, said the spokesman.

The military also fired the Trishul on Thursday and twice on Friday.

The ongoing tests are meant to gauge the accuracy of the Trishul, which can deliver a 15-kilogram warhead up to nine kilometres away, officials said.

The missile has now been tested eight times.—AFP
