According to the officials, this ballistic missile was testfired at around 9.45 am today.
During the test flight, the missile travelled its maximum range and all its test objectives were also met successfully.
"With this third consecutive successful flight test of the Agni Prime missile, the accuracy and reliability of the system has been established," they said.
