India test fires nuclear-capable Agni-II missile

Bhubaneswar: India on Thursday test-fired its medium-range nuclear-capable ballistic missile Agni-II off the Odisha coast, but the test failed after the missile deviated from its trajectory, sources said. The trial of the surface-to-surface missile was conducted from Launch Complex-4 of the Integrated Test Range (ITR) in the APJ Abdul Kalam Island in Balasore district, said officials. However, the missile went off its path after around half-a-kilometer and the test had to be aborted, they said. (IANS)
