Agni-III testing by year-end

NEW DELHI JAN. 11. India is developing surface-to-surface Agni-III missile with a range of more than 3,000 km and it is likely to be test-fired before the end of the year, the Scientific Adviser to the Defence Minister, V.K. Aatre, said here today.

"The development of Agni-III is on. It is being designed to hit targets at a distance of more than 3,000 km. We will hopefully test-fire it before the end of the year,'' he said on the sidelines of a seminar on "Defence and Internal Security" on the concluding day of a three-day NRI convention here. — PTI
