Islamabad: Pakistan on October 14 test-fired its third nuclear capable missile in 11 days, the Army announced.

"Pakistan today carried out another successful test-fire of its indigenously developed medium-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile Hatf IV," an Army spokesman said.

The missile, also known as Shaheen One, was already tested last week.

The test "concludes for now the series of planned tests which started on October 3", the spokesman said.

However, a longer-range version of the Hatf series would be tested in the future, he added, without specifying when.
