India successfully tested a nuclear-capable Agni III ballistic missile from a military base off its eastern coast.
The surface-to-surface missile, with a range of over 3,000 kilometres, was fired from a launchpad on Wheeler Island off the coast of the eastern state of Orissa, a Defence Ministry statement said.
The Agni III missile was developed by India's Defence Research and Development Organization and has already been inducted into the armed forces.
The test came two days after the successful launch from the same base of the nuclear-capable Agni IV missile, which has a range of 4,000 kilometres.
