NDTV reports that India today test-fired its cruise missile called Nirbhay, but the launch was a mixed success as the missile's flight had to be terminated halfway after it deviated from its course.

"The Nirbhay cruise missile launch was a mixed success. The lift-off was successful but the flight had to be terminated halfway. We have not been able to achieve complete range capability, but the mission objectives have been met," the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), which developed the missile, said in a statement.

The DRDO said it is examining the flight details.
