India tests nuclear-capable missile after sunset
BHUBANESWAR (November 24 2009): India's army tested a nuclear-capable Agni missile after sunset on Monday for the first time to demonstrate it could be fired whenever required, defence officials said. The surface-to-surface Agni II missile is capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to targets around 2,000 km (1,200 miles) away, officials said.

"It was tested after sunset and we are awaiting results," said a defence official, who asked not to be identified. The missile was test launched from Wheeler's Island, off India's east coast in Orissa state. Its range can be increased to 3000 km (1,900 miles) by reducing the load. It is 65 feet (20 meters) long and can carry a payload of one tonne.
