The country's most deterrent nuclear capable ballistic missile, Agni-5 has been successfully test fired from Chandipur Test Range in Balasore district off Odisha coast.

The missile was launched at 8.45 this morning.

The Agni-5 can carry a single nuclear warhead of over 1000 kg and can strike with precision targets in China and Europe.
