Islamabad: India\u2019s recent test of the nuclear-capable Agni-5 ballistic missile, capable of striking targets up to 5,000 km away, has triggered unease across the region\u2014particularly in Turkey\u2014as fears mount over Delhi\u2019s expanding strategic reach.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, India test-fired the Agni-5 from Chandipur in Odisha under the oversight of its Strategic Forces Command. The missile\u2019s long range, which now spans from Turkey to China, was explicitly highlighted in some Indian media reports and corroborated in international coverage.<\/p>\n
Turkish media outlets have reacted strongly to these developments. The Turkish news portal Daily Sabah noted: \u201cIndian media reports on New Delhi\u2019s latest missile test noted that the nuclear-capable Agni-5 system… could reach targets \u2018from T\u00fcrkiye to China.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Separately, a defense commentary website summarised the Turkish media\u2019s outrage: \u201cTurkish media expressed outrage over Indian reports stating that the nuclear-capable Agni-5 missile… could target locations \u2018from T\u00fcrkiye to China.\u2019\u201d
\nThese reactions reflect anxiety over the missile\u2019s extended reach beyond India\u2019s usual theater of regional tensions. While Indian authorities maintain the test was routine and aimed at deterring China and Pakistan, Turkey’s media underscored the gravity of being named within Agni-5\u2019s potential range.<\/p>\n
Analysts observe that India\u2019s aggressive missile expansion, now encompassing Turkey, undermines regional security and raises legitimate international concerns. The inclusion of Turkey\u2014an important NATO member\u2014in the missile\u2019s strike radius broadens the scope of India\u2019s military shadow and challenges the region\u2019s strategic stability.<\/p>\n
The global community must view Delhi\u2019s actions with scrutiny and urge restraint. Mutual respect for sovereignty and transparent defense postures are critical to preventing the slide into regional militarization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
