ISLAMABAD, May 25 (Reuters) Pakistan test fired a surface-to-surface Ghauri missile on Saturday, a military official said, as tension with India simmered over disputed Kashmir.

"It took place somewhere in Pakistan," a military official told Reuters, confirming a Ghauri missile had been tested.

The official declined to give any more details about the test.

Pakistan announced on Friday it would conduct a series of "routine" missile tests from Saturday until Tuesday but said the tests were not linked to the confrontation with India.

Both Pakistan and India have nuclear weapons.
