On August 6, 2026, India successfully test-fired the Agni-4 medium-range ballistic missile from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur, Odisha. The launch, conducted under the aegis of the India — Strategic Forces Command, validated all operational and technical parameters. The Agni-4 is a two-stage, surface-to-surface missile with a range of up to 4,000 kilometers and is capable of carrying nuclear warheads. This test is part of India's ongoing strategic missile program and follows earlier successful trials of the Agni-Prime and Agni-3 missiles this year. The Ministry of Defence confirmed the success, and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated the scientists and industry partners involved. The test reinforces India's credible deterrence capability.
