Second Successful Launch of the Indian Shourya Ballistic Missile
India has tested the Shourya nuclear-capable surface/surface missile, at the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur off Orissa coast, about 15 km from Balasore. The missile can carry a warhead weighing one ton, a weight sufficient for a nuclear device.

Shourya is scheduled to enter service in 2013.
