India has successfully launched a long-range intercontinental ballistic missile able to carry a nuclear warhead, officials say.The Agni-V was launched from a site off India's east coast and took about 20 minutes to hit its target somewhere near Indonesia in the Indian Ocean.The missile has a range of more than 5,000km (3,100 miles), potentially bringing targets in China within range.India said the launch was "flawless" and the missile had reached its target."The ships located in mid-range and at the target point have tracked the vehicle [missile] and witnessed the final event," Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) spokesman Ravi Gupta said.latest news, latest news india, breaking news, fox news, abc news, bbc news, new york times, current events, cnn, msnbc, ndtv, msn.
