On Wednesday, Pakistan Army claimed that it successfully test-fired a nuclear-capable surface-to-surface ballistic missile – Shaheen-III, that can carry out strike targets up to 2,750 kilometres.
Soon after the launch, the Pakistan Army’s propaganda arm – the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that the ‘successful’ launch of Shaheen-III missile was “aimed at revalidating various design and technical parameters of the weapon system”.
However, contrary to Pakistani Army’s successful Shaheen-III Missile tests, several reports coming from Pakistan suggest that the test carried out by Pakistan was a massive failure as the missile landed in a civilian area in Balochistan destroying several houses and injuring civilians.
Baloch Republican Party, one of the most influential political parties in the Balochistan, revealed the Pakistan Army’s latest test of the Shaheen-III missile, fired from Rakhi area of Dera Ghazi Khan landed at the civil populated area of Dera Bugti’s Matt region.
Taking to Twitter, Baloch Republican Party said that the security forces had evacuated all their posts in the area last night, but the missile was detonated in the presence of civilians in the area. The blast destroyed many houses and injured several people.
Sher Mohammad Bugti, the central spokesman of BRP, also alleged that the Pakistani Army has turned Balochistan into a laboratory.
As per local sources several casualties among civilians due to this failed missile test of Pakistan Army. #Balochistan
