#1 The Agni-1 is supposed to be tested today.

It seems the Indians have upgraded the guidance system of these missiles (single figure CEPs)

#2 Missile #3

Agni-1 test-fired off Orissa coast
India on Sunday successfully test-fired its indigenously developed, nuclear-capable, short range ballistic missile (SRBM) Agni-1 from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Wheeler Island, about 100 km from Balasore off Orissa coast.

User of the missile, the strategic force command of the Indian Army, executed the entire launch operation with the necessary logistic support being provided by the Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) at the integrated test range (ITR).

Weighing 12 tonne, the 15 metre tall Agni-1, which can carry payloads weighing up to one tonne, has already been inducted into the Indian Army.

Short range nukes with a low CEP? Yeah, given the neighborhood, I can see that coming in handy. It won't be pretty, though.
