India has successfully test-fired the nuclear-capable, medium-range ballistic missile Agni-4 from the Integrated Test Range in Chandipur, Odisha. Conducted under the aegis of the Strategic Forces Command, the routine user trial validated all operational and technical parameters, confirming the missile system’s flight performance and reliability. Featuring a two-stage, solid-propulsion engine and an advanced navigation setup, Agni-4 boasts a strike range of up to 4,000 kilometers. This successful test underscores India’s commitment to advancing its indigenous defense technologies, reinforcing operational readiness, and maintaining a robust credible minimum deterrence capability across its strategic defense umbrella.
