India test-fires Agni-V ballistic missile having range of 5,000 km

The Hindu  

India on Thursday successfully test-fired nuclear-capable ballistic missile Agni-V that can strike targets at ranges up to 5,000 km, marking a significant boost to the country's strategic deterrence, people familiar with the development said. The test-firing of the missile from the APJ Abdul Kalam Island off Odisha coast came amid India's lingering border row with China. The successful test-firing of the missile paves way for its induction into the Strategic Forces Command that takes care of India's strategic assets, the people cited above said. In June, India successfully carried out a night launch of the nuclear-capable Agni-4 ballistic missile, in a boost to India's military capabilities.
