The Pakistani military says it has successfully test-fired a short-range ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear device.
They say the missile has a range of 290kms (180 miles).
It was launched from a secret location at the end of a training session.
The firing of the Ghaznavi missile was the third such test in as many weeks.
Pakistan and its neighbour India - both nuclear powers - routinely carry out missile tests.
