India on Wednesday test-fired an intermediate-range ballistic missile capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads, a government statement said.
The Agni-5 missile was successfully launched in India’s eastern Odisha state, with authorities saying it “validated all operational and technical parameters.”
The test-fire came a week before US tariffs are set to double from 25 percent to 50 percent, unless India meets President Donald Trump’s demand that it stop buying Russian oil.
