ISLAMABAD – Youm-e-Takbeer is being observed across the country today (Thursday) with great zeal and fervor.
On this day [28th May] in 1998, responding to Indian nuclear tests, Pakistan carried out five successful nuclear tests in Chaghi, Balochistan followed by another nuclear test on 30th May in Kharan.
After these nuclear tests Pakistan became seventh nuclear power of the world and first in the Muslim world.
These nuclear tests gave a clear message to the world that despite Pakistan is a peace loving country but it cannot ignore its defence needs and is capable of meeting any challenge and threat.
