India successfully tested the Agni-5 missile with MIRV technology from Odisha on Friday. The missile can carry multiple nuclear warheads and hit different targets with a single launch. It has a range of more than 5,000 kilometres. The Defence Ministry said all mission objectives were achieved. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said the test strengthens India's defence preparedness. The Agni-5 was developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). India first tested this technology in 2024 under Mission Divyastra. The successful trial places India among a small group of countries with advanced MIRV missile capability and strengthens its strategic deterrence.
