The Indian Army tested a BrahMos supersonic cruise missile from the Andaman and Nicobar (A&N) Islands earlier today (29 November).
An extended-range version of the missile was tested by the Western Command of the Army, the A&N command, the only tri-services command of the Indian Army, said in a post on Twitter.
Earlier this month, India had issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), indicative of a missile test, for 29 November and 1 December.
The no-fly zone notified for the test suggests that the variant of the missile tested today can hit targets at a range of 450 km or more.
India has conducted multiple tests of the BrahMos cruise missile from the A&N Islands this year. In February, India test-fired a BrahMos missile from a land-based launcher there. An extended-range version of the BrahMos cruise missile was tested from the Islands in March. In April, the A&N Command test-fired the anti-ship version of the BrahMos.
