Pakistan Claims It Successfully Tested Ballistic Missile With 450 Km Range

Pakistan has claimed to have successfully tested a surface-to-surface ballistic missile with a 450-km range on Saturday. The missile, known as the Abdali Weapon System, was launched during Exercise INDUS, Islamabad claimed. The missile test comes amid rising tensions with India in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack.

“The launch was aimed at ensuring the operational readiness of troops and validating key technical parameters, including the missile’s advanced navigation system and enhanced manoeuvrability features,” the Pakistani government said.

India views any missile test by Pakistan as a grave provocation, said sources.
