India successfully test-fired the nuclear-capable Agni-4 intermediate-range ballistic missile from Chandipur in Odisha on 6 August 2026, Aaj Tak reports. The launch took place under the Strategic Forces Command. Defence sources said all operational and technical parameters were verified, with the missile following its designated flight path and meeting prescribed benchmarks. Agni-4 is designed to strike targets at ranges of about 4,000 km. It uses solid-fuel technology and can be launched from a road-mobile platform. The test was described as part of routine checks of accuracy, reliability and operational readiness, rather than a response to any particular threat. It was conducted with the involvement of the Defence Research and Development Organisation and the Strategic Forces Command.
