NEW DELHI, Nov 12: India test-fired a medium-range, nuclear-capable missile on Wednesday from a land-based launcher in eastern India, a defence ministry official said.
The weapon tested was a K-15 missile, an undersea submarine-launched ballistic missile with a range of up to 700km, said the official.
It was fired from a test range in Chandipur in eastern Orissa state. The Agni 3, in contrast, is India’s longest-range missile, designed to reach 3,000km, putting China’s major cities well into range, as well as targets deep in the Middle East.—AP
