The question asks about the launch site of DRDO's ‘Pralay’ missile tests conducted in July 2025.
Pralay is an indigenously developed, short-range, surface-to-surface quasi-ballistic missile of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
The successful tests were carried out from Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Island, located off the coast of Odisha in the Bay of Bengal.
Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Island, formerly known as Wheeler Island, is DRDO's primary integrated test range used for launching most Indian strategic missiles.
Nicobar and Andaman Islands are Union Territory islands in the Bay of Bengal but are not the DRDO missile test range, so they are wrong.
Lakshadweep lies in the Arabian Sea and has no missile testing facility, so it is also incorrect.
Hence the missile tests were conducted from Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Island.
