The single-stage missile, fitted with a directional warhead and other ‘advanced systems’ neutralized the target, said a statement issued by the Ministry of Defense.
The target ballistic ‘enemy’ missile was launched from Launch Complex – III at the ITR, with the Interceptor Missile launched from Wheeler Island. The interceptor was tracked by radars, destroying the target missile and breaking it into fragments.
