NEW DELHI: India's first nighttime test of a medium-range missile was a failure, missing its target, a defense ministry official said Tuesday.

India test fired the surface-to-surface "Agni-II" (Fire) missile from Wheelers Island in the eastern state of Orissa on Monday.

"It couldn't hit the target," the official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity in line with ministry rules.

"The liftoff was smooth, even the first stage of separation was smooth. But there was some problem during the second stage of separation and it deviated from its coordinated path," the official said.

The Agni-II, with a range of up to 1,250 miles (2,000 kilometers), is capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads weighing up to 2,200 pounds (1,000 kilograms), the official said.

India has a variety of missiles including the short-range Prithvi ballistic missile, the medium-range Akash, and the supersonic Brahmos.

India's missiles are mostly intended for any confrontation with neighboring archrival Pakistan, but the Agni-II can put areas in southern China within striking range.

India's previous missile tests have been done during the day.

I don't think there is anything wrong in a failed testing. Is it?

The day tests were successful and they will re-work and fix the night firing too. Software guys should understand its just the software. "Bug aagaya hai, Debug kar denge"
