Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday congratulated the defence scientists for successfully testing the interceptor missile and said that it was a proud moment for the entire country.

"With this, India joins the select group of five nations with such capability – a proud moment for the entire country," the Prime Minister said in a tweet.
