BHUBANESWAR: India on Sunday test-fired its nuclear capable Agni-II strategic ballistic missile from a military base in Odisha, defence sources said.
The test was conducted at Wheeler’s Island in Bhadrak district, around 200km from here, by army personnel as part of a training exercise, the sources said.
The medium-range surface-to-surface missile with a range of over 2,000km has already been inducted into the army and is part of the strategic forces arsenal for nuclear deterrence.

Honestly, don't care. We should focus on poverty and education. We should not get involved in any more conflicts. India is not our enemy, neither is Israel. They are just not our friends right now.

The photo shows a Privthi missile not an Agni II. It is obvious that the Indians have the money, people and technology to produce even more sophisticated missiles. Pakistan doesn't have the same advantages and is forced to rely on China and North Korea for missile technology. AQ Khan must be released and allowed to head defense technology enterprise for Pakistan. Even if AQ Khan sells technology etc to enrich himself that is permissible as Pakistan stands to gain by this giant's contributions!

India is going soon to test Agni 6 (more than 8000 km reach)... Agni 2 is quite older
