A missile unit of the Strategic Forces Command (SFC) launched the
indigenously developed missile at 9.15 a.m. from Launch Complex-III, as part of
regular training exercise. Inducted into the SFC in 2003, Prithvi-II, the first

under the prestigious Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP), is
now a proven technology, a DRDO release said.
