Pakistan test-fires N-missile
Ap, Islamabad
Pakistan successfully tested an indigenous short-range, nuclear-capable missile on Saturday, the military said. The surface-to-surface Abdali ballistic missile with a range of 125 miles was launched from an undisclosed location inside Pakistan. The missile "can carry all types of warheads," the military said in a statement issued from Rawalpindi, a garrison city near the capital, Islamabad. The military did not provide any further details, but Pakistan and its nuclear-armed rival, neighbouring India, routinely test missiles. Pakistan's latest comes about a week after India tested its indigenously developed air-to-air Astra missile, with a range of up to 50 miles.
