Another missile from Pakistan ISLAMABAD, March 19 (Reuters) - Pakistan on Saturday successfully test-fired a long-range, nuclear-capable ballistic missile, the latest in a series of such tests in one of the world's flashpoints. "Today, we carried out a successful test-firing of the indigenously developed Shaheen II missile," a military official told Reuters. He said the missile could travel up to 2,000 km (1,200 miles) and carry all kinds of warheads. A military statement said Pakistan had informed neighbouring countries beforehand about the test - a practice also observed by rival India, which regularly tests its own nuclear-capable missiles. "The test was carried out to verify some of the refined parameters," a military statement said. "Al Hamd-o-Lillah (Praise to God), all parameters were validated." |
