Pakistan tests third missile
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, May 28 (UPI) -- Pakistan test-fired its third missile Tuesday, in defiance of the international criticism that followed its first two tests over the weekend. "The successful test fire of the new missile concludes for now the series of tests conducted over the last few days," said an official statement. The Defense Ministry announced that the new missile Hatf-II -- also called Abdali after the founder of the current Afghan dynasty -- is nuclear-capable, like the previous two tested over the weekend. "The system is capable of carrying warheads accurately up to a range of 180 kilometers (112 miles)," the statement said. "The flight data collected from the test confirmed its accuracy and all other design parameters, which were successfully validated."
