India today successfully test-fired an advanced version of the BrahMos land-attack cruise missile from the Car Nicobar Islands as it revalidated the weapon's precision strike capability.

"The land-to-land configuration of BrahMos Block'"III version was test launched from a Mobile Autonomous Launcher for its full-range of 290-km at 1310 hours," an official statement said.

Today's development follows an unsuccessful test on April 9, when the missile had failed to hit the target. However, today's test met all flight parameters, including high-level manoeuvres.

The supersonic cruise missile hit the designated land- based target with the desired accuracy, said the statement issued by BrahMos.
