ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Pakistan successfully test-fired a new version of its long-range nuclear-capable missile Friday, two days after Pakistani and Indian officials signed an agreement in New Delhi to reduce the risk of an accidental nuclear war between them.
The Shaheen II ballistic missile, launched from an undisclosed location, has a range of 1,245 miles.
"The missile test was part of a continuous process of validation and technical improvement which Pakistan follows to consolidate and verify its various land-based strategic missile systems," the military said.
