India successfully test fired a ballistic missile, with a strike range of around 1500 kilometres, from an underwater platform in Bay of Bengal.

DRDO Chief VK Saraswat said that the medium range K-15 ballistic missile was test-fired from an underwater pontoon and all parameters of the test firing were met.

Mr Saraswat said, the development phase of the K-15 missile, which is a submarine-launched ballistic missile, was over and it was now ready for deployment on various platforms including the indigenous nuclear submarine INS Arihant which is under development.
