India successfully tested a surface-to-surface BrahMos supersonic cruise missile in Andaman and Nicobar Islands on Wednesday, defence officials said. It added that the extended range missile hit its target with pinpoint accuracy in the Andaman and Nicobar islands. The extended range missile testfiring was witnessed by Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari and other defence officials.
