Balasore, Jan 2 (IBNS) : India on Monday successfully test fired the nuclear-capable strategic ballistic missile Agni-IV from a road-mobile launcher on Abdul Kalam Island, off Odisha coast, reports said.

The launch came exactly a week after India tested the Agni-V, the country's longest range nuclear capable missile.


Agni-IV is a two-stage, surface-to-surface missile that can travel 4,000 km and can carry a nuclear warhead weighing one tonne.

It has a range of more than 5,000 km.

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) developed the missile, which is 20 metres long and weighs 17 tonnes.
