“The test was carried out on the island of Abdul Kalam in the state of Odisha at 19:30 pm on June 6 ( India). The launch verified all operational parameters, as well as the reliability of the Agni-IV system. The successful test reaffirmed India’s policy of ‘credible minimal deterrence’,” the statement said.
