India successfully test-fired its nuclear-capable, surface-to-surface Agni I short-range ballistic missile from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at the Dr Abdul Kalam Island off the coast of Odisha on February 6, to test the operational readiness of India’s missile force. 

Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) said the launch was “a complete success” as all main test objectives were met. The single-state, solid fuel missile, has an operational range of 700-900 kilometres and can alternatively be armed with a 1,000-kilogram conventional or nuclear warhead.
