Pakistan fires nuclear-capable missile as tests continue

PAKISTAN yesterday test-fired a nuclear-capable missile able to hit many targets inside its arch rival India.

It was the third and last in a series of tests, the army said, but longer-range missiles are to be tested soon.

The medium-range, surface-to-surface Hatf-4, also known as the Shaheen-1, was successfully test-fired from an undisclosed location. The missile has a range of 435 miles.
