The country has set a new Guinness World Record by creating the largest falcon hood, beating the previous record of 1.65 metres
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."
