Agni III fails to reach target, snag to be examined: Pranab

Kolkata/Balasore, July 10: Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee has said the data record of Agni III, which failed to hit the target after a successful launch from Balasore, would be examined to ascertain the nature of snag it developed.

''Agni III took off well. But it developed a technical snag in the second phase. We will examine the data to look into the
problem,'' Mr Mukherjee told UNI over phone from Murshidabad in West Bengal.

Mr Mukherjee, however, said the problem the missile developed was nothing unusual and there was nothing to worry about.
