Pakistan has test-fired an intermediate-range nuclear-capable ballistic missile that could reach all the cities in neighbouring India.

State-owned Pakistan television said the missile could travel 1,250 miles and carry all kinds of warheads.

Pakistan says its weapons program is a response to that of nuclear-armed rival India, with which it has fought three wars since independence in 1947.

The test came after Israel last week sealed  a deal to sell India a strategic airborne radar system despite improving ties between Islamabad and New Delhi.
