DRDO Statement (edited): India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) today successfully conducted its fourth consecutive AAD interceptor missile test in the endo-atmospheric regime at 15-km altitude off the Integrated Test Range, Chandipur, Orissa. The single stage interceptor missile fitted with a directional warhead and other advanced systems neutralized the target.
The target ballistic ‘enemy’ missile was launched from Launch Complex–III, ITR Chandipur. The interceptor missile fitted with a directional warhead was launched from Wheeler Island and destroyed the target missile breaking it into fragments. This was tracked by various radars and sensors. All weapon system elements including command and control, communication and radar performed satisfactorily.
congratulations to everyone involved. Hope we induct this soon.

I hope such system may be extended to intercept the hypersonic ICBMs of all variants.
Fourth lord Sun in third ! Time ripe for overrunning on a renegade neighbor.

There are no Hypersonic ICBMs in this world, only hypersonic cruize missile.
