April 19 (Bloomberg) — Pakistan test-fired a long-range ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear and conventional warheads, Agence France-Presse reported, citing the military.
The Shaheen II, or Hatf VI, missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles) was launched from an undisclosed location, the news agency said, citing military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas.
India and Pakistan, both nuclear-capable powers, have tested a series of missiles since 2002, when the two countries came close to a fourth war. The South Asian neighbors have sought to repair relations since April 2003.
