India has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) declaring a no-fly zone over the Bay of Bengal region and extending into the Indian Ocean. This notification, effective from September 6th to 7th, 2024, indicates that a missile test is likely to take place during this period.
The designated NOTAM area covers an extensive region of 1625 kilometers. However, the NOTAM for the rocket splashdown area extends even further, reaching a distance of 2680 kilometers. These measures are essential to ensure the safety of both civilian and military aircraft during the missile test.
While the specific missile type has not been officially confirmed, there is speculation that India may be conducting a test of either the Agni-P or Agni-III missile. The Agni-P, with a range of 2000 kilometers, is a newer addition to India’s ballistic missile arsenal.
Meanwhile, a Chinese Research/Survey vessel, the Xiang Yang Hong 03, was last spotted four days ago in the Bay of Bengal. The vessel is reportedly heading towards Xiamen, China. While there is no direct connection between the Chinese vessel and India’s missile test, its presence in the region raises questions about China’s activities in the Indian Ocean.
