Balasore: Medium Range Ballistic Missile 'Agni-4' was successfully test-fired from the Integrated Test Range, Chandipur in Odisha on Thursday.
The launch validated all operational and technical parameters, and the test was carried out under the aegis of the Strategic Forces Command, the Ministry of Defence said in a statement.
Agni-4 is a two-stage, surface-to-surface missile propelled by a solid-fuel rocket motor.
It is capable of striking targets at a distance of up to 4,000 kilometres.
The test was carried out under the aegis of the Strategic Forces Command, which is responsible for the country’s strategic forces.
The successive tests show that India is accelerating the modernization of its strategic missile forces while strengthening its self-reliance in the research, development, production, and operation of high-tech weapons systems.
