The missile has a surface-to-surface range of 450 kilometers , and Pakistan’s top leadership, including the president and prime minister, praised the team responsible for the successful test.
The test aims to signal strategic resolve to India amid ongoing border hostilities, diplomatic expulsions, and threats such as India's intent to suspend a key water-sharing treaty.
