DRDO Successfully Tests Drone-Launched Missile in Andhra Pradesh
India's defense team, DRDO, did a great job testing a special missile launched from a drone.
They fired it in Andhra Pradesh to make sure it worked well.
The Defense Minister was happy about this successful test because it shows India can build advanced weapons.
This test helps India to be stronger in defense, especially because they have the ability to make complex military tech.
Now, they are working on making even better missiles, like the ULPGM-V3 and the ULPGM-V2 that TBRL had already created.

The test took place in the National Open Area Range (NOAR) in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh.
The Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated DRDO and industry partners.
