The Agni-1 rocket, which can fly more than 700 km, was launched in the Bay of Bengal on the morning. This type of rocket can carry both nuclear warheads and conventional warheads.

The statement of the Indian army affirmed : "The missile has demonstrated a remarkable ability in textbooks on firing range, accuracy and destructive power". The Agni-1 rocket was launched several times before.

India and neighboring Pakistan have nuclear weapons that regularly carry out missile tests and have an agreement to warn each other before firing. These two nations also had three wars since independence from England in 1947.

In addition to the most powerful Agni missile, India's arsenal also has many other types of missiles such as Prithvi short range, mid-range Akash and Brahmos supersonic. Last year, the country successfully tested its nuclear-capable Agni-3 to reach most of Asia and the Middle East.
