New Delhi, Dhu-AlQa'dah 3, 1433, Sep 19, 2012, SPA - India on Wednesday successfully tested a nuclear-capable Agni-IV missile from a base off its eastern coast, officials said. The surface-to-surface missile was fired from a mobile launcher and hit a target in the Bay of Bengal with "high accuracy," Defence Research and Development Organization spokesman Ravi Kumar Gupta said. The two-stage missile has a range of over 3,500 kilometres and can carry a payload of up to 1,000 kilograms, according to a report of dpa. India tested its first nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile, Agni-V, with a range of more than 5,000 kilometres, in April this year. --SPA 13:34 LOCAL TIME 10:34 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1031319
