India has attained anti-satellite capability, becoming the fourth such country after the US, China and Russia, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on Wednesday.
The mission was completed within 3 minutes when a pre-determined target satellite some 300 km away in the sky was destroyed using a complicated space manoeuvre, Modi said in a nationally televised speech.
Calling it "Mission Shakti", the Prime Minister said it did not violate any international law.
"This is a proud moment for the country. Our scientists have made this happen."
The live video can be watched on his Twitter page.

#MissionShakti was a highly complex one, conducted at extremely high speed with remarkable precision. It shows the remarkable dexterity of India's outstanding scientists and the success of our space programme.

#MissionShakti is special for 2 reasons:A cabinet meeting has taken place following a Cabinet Committee on Security. It is expected that Modi will speak as soon as the cabinet meet gets over, television reports said.
(1) India is only the 4th country to acquire such a specialised & modern capability.
(2) Entire effort is indigenous.
India stands tall as a space power!
It will make India stronger, even more secure and will further peace and harmony.
