India on Thursday successfully test-fired a long-range "Agni-5" intercontinental nuclear-capable ballistic missile, a government minister said, that is expected to strengthen its deterrence against long-time rival China.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said the missile was fired Thursday from Abdul Kalam Island in eastern Odisha state.
"The missile will add great value to the defense and strengthen national security to a greater extent," Joshi tweeted, citing its range of 3,300 miles or more.
Ahead of the test, Indian authorities issued a notification and declared the Bay of Bengal as a no-fly zone, said Indian media reports, adding that its range covers almost the entire China mainland.
Fresh tensions arose between India and China following clashes between their army soldiers Dec. 9 along their disputed border in Arunachal Pradesh state.

I’ve said numerous times here, the only reason Chinese people aren’t the rudest people on Earth is that there are Indian people.
P.S. What the **** are they always cooking smelly crap for?
Plus, there’s that re-incarnation thing...
It has a curry warhead.
Having taught both groups over 25 years in Woodside Queens, Chinese, HANDS DOWN.
It was more meant as tongue in cheek as they’re the same continent.
Yes, although I’m not sure it’s really appropriate to call a missile “intercontinental” when it’s intended to hit targets in Asia from a launch site in Asia. ;’}
The missile should have crashed onto the ship.
No, and I’ll never go to India, China, Africa, or a slew of other toilets...
I visit tropical islands or Europe.
They also have nuclear capable Hypersonic Cruise Missiles too.
They could have indoor plumbing, they just don’t think it’s needed.
