New Delhi: Pakistan Army claimed that on Wednesday they have successfully test-fired a nuclear-capable surface-to-surface ballistic missile – Shaheen-III. However, contrary to Pakistani Army’s successful Shaheen-III Missile tests, several reports coming from Pakistan suggest that the test carried out by Pakistan was a massive failure as the missile landed in a civilian area in Balochistan destroying several houses and injuring civilians.
Pakistan on Wednesday test-fired the ballistic missile Shaheen-3 capable of carrying nuclear weapons. Prime Minister Imran Khan also congratulated the scientists for its “success”. However, this missile got into controversy due to a security lapse. The Balochistan Republican Party said in a tweet that the missile fired from Rakhi area of Dera Ghazi Khan fell into the residential area of Dera Bugti’s Matt region.
Sher Mohammad Bugti, the central spokesman of BRP, also alleged that the Pakistani Army has turned Balochistan into a laboratory. This missile was fired in the presence of people. Many people were injured in this and dozens of houses were destroyed.
While Balochistan human rights activist Fazila Baloch said in a tweet, ‘Pakistan continues to test its dangerous weapons in Balochistan. Today they tested the Shaheen missile, which fell in Dera Bugti. Fazila also posted some pictures along with this tweet, through which she claimed that these people were injured during Pakistan’s nuclear missile test in 1998. However, Pakistan Army has denied the news of a missile falling on a colony.
The Pakistan Army on Wednesday said that the ballistic missile Shaheen-3 can carry out strike targets up to 2,750 kilometres. It is highly advanced in terms of technology.
