India set to test fire Agni-III missile

India is set to test-fire this year its new longer-range “Agni-III” surface-to-surface missile capable of carrying nuclear weapons.

"The missile should be test-fired this year. We have so far not zeroed in on any date for its launch. This is just the beging of the year," the PTI quoted Indian Defense Minister George Fernandes as saying.

On whether the missile would have a strike range of over 3,000 kilometers, Fernandes said "I will not make any comment on that".
