Agni-5 can target our Harbin city:
Chinese daily
Agni-5, Indias latest long-range nuclear-capable
missile under development, can target Chinas
northernmost city of Harbin, a leading Chinese
newspaper has claimed amid a slew of strident
anti-India articles over the status of Arunachal
Pradesh.
Indias Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL) has
made its forthcoming Agni-5 missile highly road-
mobile, or easily transportable by road, which
would bring Harbin, Chinas northernmost city
within striking range if the Agni-5 is moved to
northeast India, the Peoples Daily reported.
Harbin is the capital of Chinas Heilongjiang
Province.
The paper, the mouthpiece of the ruling
Communist Party, noted that the Agni-5 which has
a range of 5,000 km is similar to the Dongfeng-31A
showcased during Chinas National Day Military
Parade on October 1 in Beijing. India is going to
test-fire the missile in early 2011, the report
claimed.
The report came two days after China raked up its
claim over Arunachal Pradesh, questioning Prime
Minister Manmohan Singhs visit there on October
3.
Reacting strongly to the Chinese objection to
Singhs visit, India said the comments were
disappointing as the state is an inalienable part of
the country and such remarks do not help the
process of talks on boundary issue.
A number of state-run Chinese papers have
stepped up rhetoric against India on the boundary
issue through their articles.
