(MENAFN) Pakistan announced on Thursday that it has carried out a successful live firing test of a locally developed anti-ship missile.

The military’s media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), said in a statement that the missile “accurately engaged its target with high speed at extended range.”

The test was observed by Naval Chief Admiral Naveed Ashraf, along with a group of scientists and engineers who were present to witness the launch.
