The White House said on Monday it had been informed by India before its latest missile test, which, therefore, was "not a surprise."
White House spokesman Tony Snow told a press briefing that the U.S. government are "aware and understood that there would be a routine test and the Indian government did notify us in advance."
"So it did not come as a surprise," he said.
Snow also said Pakistan was alerted about the test in advance, too.
India test fired the Agni-III longest-range nuclear-capable ballistic missile for the first time Sunday, but it failed to hit the target.
