India successfully test-fires nuclear capable Prithvi-2 missile

India on Wednesday successfully carried out night-time test-firing of two Prithvi ballistic missiles off the coast of Odisha.

The testing of indigenously developed nuclear-capable surface-to-surface Prithvi-2 missile is a part of a user trial by the Army from a test range off Odisha coast.

The trials of the 300 km-range missiles were carried out by the Strategic Forces Command.

Earlier this month, India carried out successful night-time test-firing of the 2,000 km strike range Agni-2 ballistic missile.
