Agni III successfully lauched

The Agni III is India's longest-range missile, designed to reach 3,000 kilometers (1,900 miles) - putting China's major cities well into range, as well as Middle Eastern targets. It is nuclear-capable.

The missile was launched from Wheeler Island off the eastern state of Orissa on Sunday morning.

The Indian Army is ready to induct the long-range Agni-3 missile into its defence apparatus,

IMO: The test appeared unlikely to significantly raise tensions in the region, but doubtless the launch will give reason for comment.
