BHUBANESHWAR, Dec 8: India successfully tested its Trishul missile on Thursday in the eastern state of Orissa, defence officials said. The Trishul was fired a day after the Indian military tested its surface-to-air missile, Akash, at the same location of Chandipur-on-Sea.

Trishul, which was last tested on Oct 5, is being designed for use by the army, airforce and the navy and can transport a 15-kilogramme conventional warhead up to nine kilometres.—AFP
