India test-fires nuclear-capable missile

Last updated:

New Delhi: 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 700 kilometres, said the office.

It was fired from a test range in Chandipur in eastern Orissa state, nearly 1,100 kilometres southeast of New Delhi.

India and longtime rival Pakistan routinely test-fire missiles. They usually notify each other ahead of missile launches in keeping with an agreement between the two nations.
