India successfully conducted the flight trial of an Advanced Agni missile equipped with a Multiple Independently Targeted Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) system on 8 May 2026 from which of the following locations?
Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island, Odisha
India's dedicated long-range strategic missile trials are carried out from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) located on Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island (formerly Wheeler Island) off the Odisha coast, operated by the DRDO.
An MIRV payload lets a single missile carry several warheads that can be independently steered onto separate targets, so the launch platform needs open sea downrange for safe testing - a condition the Odisha coast provides.
Balasore is a nearby launch complex used for shorter-range systems, Pokhran hosts underground nuclear tests and land-based trials, and Sriharikota is ISRO's civilian space port used for satellite launches, not ballistic missile trials.
Hence, the flight trial of the Advanced Agni MIRV was conducted from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island, Odisha.
