Pakistan says it has fired its first cruise missile, describing the launch as a “milestone” in its history. The missile is reportedly capable of carrying nuclear and conventional warheads and has a range of 300 miles. The country’s information Minister said the launch was a birthday gift to President Pervez Musharraf. The launch comes days after Pakistan and India agreed to give each other advance notice of future nuclear ballistic missile tests. Even still, India was not informed about Thursday’s test.
