India today successfully test fired indigenously built medium range surface to surface missile "Prithivi" from the integrated test range (ITR) on Chandipur-on-sea, about 15 km from here.
According to ITR sources, the missile, developed by the Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) was test fired from a mobile launcher from the launch complex inside the test range at 13:40 hours.
The 200-km range Prithivi-I designed for quick manoeuvrability and war time efficiency soared into the clear blue sky hitting the built up target.
ITR sources said the missile could be used as a tactical battlefield weapon.
Prithivi has a range of 250-300 km and could carry a 250 kg warhead which could be increased to 1000 kg.
