Pakistan tests nuke-capable missile

Pakistan yesterday said it had successfully test fired a short-range nuclear-capable ballistic missile.
The Hatf IX has a range of only 60 kilometres and can carry conventional warheads, the military said.
It was the third time Pakistan has test fired a ballistic missile since arch-rival India last month launched its new long-range Agni V, capable of hitting targets anywhere in China.
India and Pakistan -- which have fought three wars since independence from Britain in 1947 -- have routinely carried out missile tests since both demonstrated nuclear weapons capability in 1998.
