India does not give credence to Pak missile test

New Delhi: India today did not attach much importance to the test-firing of a ballistic missile by Pakistan saying such tests were regularly required as the technology was imported.

Briefing reporters in the city, Navy chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta said, "Such tests have been happening for ever. Pakistan requires testing of missiles as the technology is flowing in from some other parts of the world. Therefore, regular testing is required."

His comment was sought on the test-firing of the Shaheen-II or Hatf-VI long-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile by Pakistan today. It is Pakistan's longest range missile with a reach of 2,000 kilometre and capable of carrying nuclear and conventional warheads. (PTI)
