BALASORE (Orissa) — India yesterday successfully test fired its nuclear-capable ballistic missile Dhanush from a warship in the Bay of Bengal, defence ministry sources said. Dhanush, which is a naval version of India's surface-to-surface Prithvi missile, has a range of 250km and is capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
The missile was launched from INS Rajput that was anchored 40km offshore between Paradeep port and the test range Chandipur in Orissa's Balasore district at about 1.58pm, the sources said. Dhanush is one of five missiles designed by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation. The others include the short-range ballistic missile Prithvi, medium-range Agni, anti-tank Nag and supersonic Brahmos.
