Short-range 'Prahar' missile test successful

India today successfully conducted the first test-fire of its indigenously developed short-range, quick reaction, tactical missile 'Prahar' from the Integrated Test Range off Orissa coast.

"The test launch was fully successful as the surface-to-surface, sleek missile mounted on a road mobile launcher, roared into an overcast sky, seconds within it's blast off," defence sources said.

The sophisticated missile was test fired from ITR's launch pad-3 at about 8:15 am leaving behind its trajectory in an orange and white ribbon of smoke, they said.
