Pakistan has test-fired a ballistic missile able to carry a nuclear warhead to every part of India. Yesterday's test was another escalation in Islamabad's effort to keep pace with its neighbouring rival's formidable military advancements.
Pakistani military leaders said the Shaheen-III missile had a range of up 2735km, which could enable it to reach deep into the Middle East, including Israel.
After the missile was fired into the Arabian Sea, the head of the military unit that oversees Pakistan's nuclear programme congratulated scientists and engineers for "achieving yet another milestone of historic significance".
The medium-range Shaheen-III is an updated version of the shorter-range Shaheen-I and Shaheen-II.
