India successfully launches Agni-IV long-range missile

India successfully test fired the long-range Agni-IV off the east coast
India has successfully test fired a nuclear-capable strategic missile with a range of about 4,000km (2485 miles).
The Agni-IV is India's second longest-range missile. The launch comes two days after Pakistan tested a missile.
It was launched from a site off India's east coast and was guided to its target by a high performance computer.
In April, India unveiled its Agni-V long-range missile, which put it in an elite nuclear club with the US, UK, Russia, China and France.
