India achieved a significant milestone in its defence capabilities with the successful test firing of the new-generation nuclear-capable ballistic missile 'Agni Prime' from Abdul Kalam Island off the coast of Odisha. The launch, which took place on Wednesday around 7 pm, was hailed as a success by the defence ministry, meeting all trial objectives and validating the missile's reliable performance.

In a worrisome development, North Korea has fired an unidentified ballistic missile into the East Sea, according to South Korea's military. The launch comes shortly after Pyongyang issued a threat to shoot down US spy planes trespassing into its airspace. Relations between the two Koreas have reached a new low, with diplomacy at a standstill. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has declared his nation an "irreversible" nuclear state, emphasizing the need for increased weapons development, including tactical nuclear capabilities.
