India says it has successfully test-fired an intermediate-range ballistic missile which, when operational, should be capable of carrying a nuclear warhead to any part of China.
Indian authorities said the Agni-5 missile was successfully launched in Odisha state, also saying it “validated all operational and technical parameters.”
Reports say India and China, the world’s two most populous nations, are intense rivals whose relations plummeted in 2020 after a deadly border clash.
