War Reaches Indian Ocean: Iran Targets US-UK Base on Diego Garcia with Long-Range Missiles N18V

War Reaches Indian Ocean: Iran Targets US-UK Base on Diego Garcia with Long-Range Missiles N18V In a major escalation, Iran has launched two long-range ballistic missiles targeting the Diego Garcia military base in the Indian Ocean. This strategically vital atoll, under British control, hosts a massive US military installation. Reports indicate that one missile failed mid-flight while the second was intercepted by a US warship using an SM-3 interceptor. The strike attempt has stunned global military analysts, as Diego Garcia is located approximately 4,000 kilometers from Iran—nearly double Tehran's previously acknowledged missile range. The attack followed the UK's decision to allow the US to use the base for offensive operations against Iranian targets. #DiegoGarcia #IranWar #IndianOcean #USMilitary #BreakingNews #MissileAttack #GlobalConflict #Geopolitics2026 #DefenseNews #News18Odia #OdiaNews #odishanews #oriyanews #breakingnews #weathernews Welcome to News18 Odia, your go-to destination for the latest news and updates from across India and beyond.
