Pakistan tests ballistic missile Pakistan has carried out a second successful test of a cruise missile capable of carrying nuclear weapons, its military said. Hatf-VIII (or Raad, "thunder" in Arabic) was first tested last year. It has a range of 350km (220 miles) and it has been developed exclusively for launch from the air. On Wednesday, India tested a ballistic missile with a range of over 3000km (1,865 miles). The two neighbours routinely carry out missile tests. Tension between Pakistan and India has decreased in recent years amid a series of bilateral overtures. "It (Hatf-VIII) has enabled Pakistan to achieve a greater strategic stand-off capability on land and at sea," a statement from the Pakistan military said. "The missile test is part of a continuing process of validating the design parameters of the weapon system." Hatf-VIII was first tested in August last year. Experts say several tests are required before any missile can be deployed. Story from BBC NEWS: news.bbc.co.uk Published: 2008/05/08 06:14:29 GMT © BBC MMVIII
