India on Tuesday (3 December) conducted a night trial of its indigenously developed, nuclear-capable surface-to-surface Prithvi-II missile off Odisha coast.
The Strategic Forces Command conducted the night trial of short-range ballistic missile Prithvi-II from launch complex-3 of Integrated Test Range in Chandipur, said defence sources.
The missile, which has a strike range of 350 km, was test-fired at 7.48 pm on Tuesday, the sources added.
The last night time test of the Prithvi-II was on 20 November this year.
Inducted into the 333-missile regiment of the Indian Army in 2003, the nine-meter-tall, single-stage liquid-fueled Prithvi is the first missile to have been developed by the DRDO under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme.
Today’s trial was a part of regular training exercise by the armed forces which reconfirms the Army’s readiness to fire it at short notice, reports News On AIR.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
