India has tested the naval version of a short-range missile capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads, an Indian defence ministry official said Friday. The missile was test fired Friday from a navy warship in the Bay of Bengal off the coast of eastern Orissa state, said defence ministry spokesman Sitanshu Kar. The missile test was a success and hit the intended targets, Kar said. The home-developed Dhanush, or Bow missile, can hit a target up to 220 miles away. Fridays test was part of routine trials that defence scientists conduct to test various parameters of the missile, the official said. India is developing a range of missiles to strengthen its defence capability, including the short-range Prithvi ballistic missile, the medium-range Agni and Akash missiles, the anti-tank Nag, and the supersonic Brahmos missile, developed jointly with Russia.
