India carried out a successful training launch of the Agni-1 ballistic missile from APJ Abdul Kalam island in Odisha state, the Defence Ministry said in a statement.This ballistic missile will validate all operational and technical parameters of the strategic weapon.The development of Agni-1 began in 1999, and the missile underwent its first successful test launch in 2003 after a failed attempt a year prior. Last year in December, India also tested its Agni-V nuclear-capable ballistic missile, which can strike targets at ranges up to 5,000 km.The purpose or need for such sea-based missiles is to neutralize a hostile ballistic missile threat.
