On May 3, 2025, Pakistan successfully test-fired the Abdali surface-to-surface ballistic missile with a 450 km range during 'Exercise INDUS', amid escalating tensions with India after the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives. The launch, supervised by the Army Strategic Forces Command, was framed as a demonstration of Pakistan’s operational readiness and nuclear deterrence capabilities. India condemned the move as provocative and destabilizing. The missile test has intensified fears of regional escalation, with both nations now engaged in strategic signaling and hardened diplomatic rhetoric following the cross-border terror allegations.
