ISPR said the missile completed its mission with “exceptional precision,” confirming the navy’s advanced ability to detect, track, and decisively neutralize hostile sea-based threats at extended ranges. The successful trial, it added, underscores a significant leap in Pakistan Navy’s combat and deterrence capabilities.
Officials highlighted that the test represents a major milestone in strengthening Pakistan’s defence architecture, further enhancing the armed forces’ multi-domain, coordinated strike potential in conventional warfare scenarios.
The statement emphasized that Pakistan Navy remains firmly committed to safeguarding the country’s maritime borders and protecting national interests across its sovereign waters.
The achievement drew praise from the country’s top leadership, with the president, prime minister, and services chiefs congratulating the scientists and engineers behind the development.
