The Indian Navy has put out a video of a BrahMos missile test conducted from INS Visakhapatnam, the first of its Visakhapatnam-class stealth guided-missile destroyers.
While the Navy has not revealed the date of the missile test, an ANI report says the test was conducted earlier today (18 February).

The missile test was conducted in the Bay of Bengal.
INS Visakhapatnam has now reached Visakhapatnam to take part in President's Fleet Review on 21 February. The destroyer was commissioned into the Indian Navy in November last year.
It is the first of the four stealth guided-missile destroyers being built under Project 15B. The next ship is set to be commissioned in 2023 while the other two are planned to be inducted by 2025.
