New Delhi, Feb 6 (IBNS) :  India on Tuesday successfully test-fired nuclear capable surface-to-surface short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) at the Abdul Kalam Island off  the Odisha coast, reports said.

The missile  was launched at about 8.30 am from a road mobile launcher placed at the launching complex-IV located in .

The test came two weeks after successful flight testing of longest range Inter-Continental Range Balllistic Missile (ICBM) Agni-V from the same test facility.

Initially the 12-tonne Agni-I had a strike range of 700 km. Compared to it its longer-range cousins, its height is just 15 metres and is powered by both solid and liquid propellants, which imparts it a speed of 2.5 km per second.

It can carry both conventional and nuclear payload of about 1,000 kg. It can be blasted off from both road and rail mobile launchers.
