Pakistan today successfully test-fired the Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile, Hatf V (Ghauri). It is the fourth test this year of a nuclear-capable missile and was said to be part of a series of tests planned for the Ghauri Missile System. The Ghauri, with a range of nearly 1,500 km, can carry nuclear and other warheads. It was handed over to the Pakistan Army Strategic Forces Command in 2003. "Pakistan this morning carried out another successful test of the indigenously produced intermediate range ballistic missile Hatf V (Ghauri)," a military statement said. "The successful test bears testimony to the fact that the Ghauri Weapon System is based on the highest standards of scientific and technological advancements," a statement by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
