NEW DELHI: India on Friday successfully launched a ballistic missile in the second such trial of the nuclear-capable weapon in a month, the defence ministry said. The Agni-II missile blasted off from a testing site in eastern India and ìachieved all its flight parameters,î a senior ministry official told AFP. “It was a user trial conducted by the army and defence scientists,” he said of the rocket, which the military says is capable of hitting targets deep inside China. The test was the second since May 19 when a similar 2,500-kilometre range Agni-II was fired from the same site, hitting a pre-designated target in the Bay of Bengal.
