NEW DELHI: India on Friday successfully launched a ballistic missile in the second such trial of the nuclear-capable weapon’s platform in a month, the Defence Ministry said. The Agni-II missile blasted off from a testing site in eastern India and “achieved all its flight parameters without a hitch”, a senior ministry official told AFP. “It was a user trial conducted by the army and defence scientists,” he said of the rocket, which the military says is capable of hitting targets deep inside adjoining China. afp
