ISLAMABAD (TBEN) – The Pakistani military fired a local Babur cruise missile on Tuesday that has a range of over 900 kilometers (560 miles), twice the distance of a previous missile of the same model, according to a statement.
The extended range of the missile further enhances the military capability of Pakistan with nuclear weapons.
Pakistan and neighboring India, which also has a nuclear arsenal, have a volatile relationship, having waged three wars against each other. The military build-up of both countries is being watched closely by a nervous international community as India and Pakistan have come dangerously close to a fourth war at least twice in the past two decades.
The missile, dubbed the Babur 1B cruise missile, is being developed nationally, the military statement said. An earlier version had the limited ability to travel only 450 kilometers (280 miles).
