Pakistan tests long-range missile

Pakistan says the missile could travel up to 2,000 km

Pakistan has successfully tested a long-range nuclear-capable missile, officials say.

The Shaheen II missile has a range of 2,000km (1,250 miles) and can carry both nuclear and conventional warheads. It is unclear where the test occurred.

Nuclear rivals India and Pakistan routinely test-fire their missiles.

The test comes two days after the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visited Pakistan, after praising the country's peace process with India.

Kashmir has been a flashpoint between the two nuclear powers for more than 50 years.

There was no immediate reaction to the test from Delhi.
