On Wednesday night, India successfully conducted a test-firing of two Prithvi ballistic missiles off the coast of Odisha.

The army is planning a series of user trials from a test range off the coast of Odisha.

Prithvi-2 is an indigenously developed nuclear-capable surface-to-surface missile.

Earlier this month, India also carried out a similar night-time test firing of 2,000 kilometres strike range Agni -2 ballistic missile.

The test last night was carried out under the supervision of Strategic Forces Command.
