Over 11,000 Evacuated Ahead of Missile Test at Odisha's Chandipur RangePreviousNext

Authorities in Odisha's Balasore district have evacuated over 11,000 residents and their domestic animals from villages within 1 to 3.5 km of the Chandipur Integrated Test Range ahead of a planned missile test. Temporary shelters have been arranged, and security measures heightened. While reports suggest the test may involve India's next-generation Agni-6 ballistic missile, officials have not officially confirmed the missile's identity. Residents will return after safety clearance post-launch.
