    India tests nuclear-capable missile



    India has tested a nuclear-capable medium ballistic missile at its test range in Chandipur in the eastern state of Orissa.

    The indigenously built, Prithvi-111 missile, has a strike range of about 300 kilometres.

    It can be launched either from a ship or a submarine and is capable of destroying land targets.

    The 8.5 metre missile is part of India's Integrated Guided Missile Development Program.

    It has the latest on-board computer and an advanced inertial navigation system.

    India's missile test comes just days after rival Pakistan conducted a similar test.

    The two nuclear rivals routinely carry out missile tests.
