In 2024, India successfully conducted 'Mission Divyastra', the first flight test of an Agni-V missile with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology. This capability allows a single missile to deliver multiple warheads to different targets, significantly enhancing its strategic deterrence and making it a formidable weapon.

The Agni-V missile, like other missiles in the Agni series, was indigenously designed and developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India, a premier agency for military research and development.

The Agni-V missile has an operational range exceeding 5,000 kilometers, classifying it as an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). This range allows it to reach targets across Asia, Africa, and parts of Europe, significantly enhancing India's strategic deterrence.
