Pakistan test fires ballistic missile as tensions with India spike after Kashmir gun massacre

  • Pakistan successfully test-fired the Abdali surface-to-surface ballistic missile with a 450 km range on Saturday amid rising regional tensions.
  • This launch followed escalating hostility after the deadly April 22 Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 civilians and raised accusations between India and Pakistan.
  • The test aimed to ensure troop readiness and validate technical features like the missile's advanced navigation and maneuverability as part of Exercise INDUS.
  • India called the missile test a "reckless act of provocation," while Pakistani leaders expressed complete trust in their armed forces' operational preparedness.
  • The missile launch signals a potential escalation in India-Pakistan tensions, already heightened by exchanges of fire, diplomatic expulsions, and border closures.
