Pakistan tests nuclear-capable missile

Pakistan has successfully test fired an intermediate-range nuclear-capable ballistic missile that it says can reach all the cities of neighbouring India.

The Pakistani military said in a statement on Tuesday the surface-to-surface Shaheen II missile was tested successfully.

It stressed the system was developed by Pakistani scientists and engineers and could carry all types of warheads up to 2000km.

There was no immediate confirmation of the capabilities of the missile. India, which has its owns missile development programme, offered no immediate response to the news.
