India Successfully Test-Fires Agni-5 Missile With 5,000 Km Strike Range
Millennium Post Delhi
|Delhi 21 August 2025
In a demonstration of its strategic military might, India on Wednesday successfully test-fired the 'Agni 5' intermediate-range ballistic missile that has a range of up to 5,000 km.
NEW DELHI/BALASORE:
The defence ministry said the test-firing of the missile from the Integrated Test Range in Odisha's Chandipur validated all operational and technical parameters.
The Agni-5 missile can bring almost the entire Asia including the northernmost part of China as well as some regions in Europe under its striking range.
The test-firing of the strategic asset came around three-and-half months after the military conflict between India and Pakistan.
