India on Wednesday successfully tested a short-range, nuclear-capable missile with a range of 220 miles (350 kilometers), an official said. The army twice fired the surface-to-surface missile Prithvi II from a range in Chandipur in the eastern state of Orissa, said S.P. Dash, a senior official at the range. «The test was successful,» Dash told The Associated Press. The missile, which mainly would target military installations, can carry a warhead weighing up to 1,100 pounds (500 kilograms), Dash said.
