ANKARA, May 23 (Xinhua) -- Türkiye has conducted the second test-firing of homegrown short-range ballistic missile Tayfun, said the president of the country's defense industry agency on Tuesday.

Ismail Demir made the announcement on his Twitter account, congratulating the team involved in the development.

The test was carried out by its builder, state-owned weapons manufacturer Roketsan in the Black Sea province of Rize, Demir announced, without providing further details.

Tayfun was first tested in October 2022, when it hit a target from 560 km away.
