ISLAMABAD: Alarmed at India’s naval nuclear ambitions, Islamabad has taken up New Delhi’s recent test of a submarine-launched, nuclear-capable ballistic missile with its arch rival, amid fears the move has serious implications for strategic stability in South Asia.
Last month, India confirmed it tested the K-4 missile, which can be launched by a submarine and carry a nuclear warhead up to 3,500 kilometres away. The confirmation came after secret tests were done in March in the Indian Ocean.
