India's DRDO has revealed that a new 150-km quick reaction missile "Prahaar" is to be tested for the first time later this month. While there have been indications in the past that the DRDO was working on a weapon system to fill operational gaps between the rocket systems used by the armed forces and the Prithvi family of short-range ballistic missiles, its name and rough range have only been revealed now.
I'm back in India later this week, and will post more on Prahaar soon.
