The Pakistan Navy successfully tested a ship-launched ballistic missile that was built in the country.
With a range of 350 kilometers, the weapon system can precisely engage both land and water targets. The Weapon System has advanced mobility characteristics and a cutting-edge navigation system.
The Chief of the Naval Staff, senior officers from the Pakistan Navy, and committed scientists and engineers saw the flight test.
Participating Naval Units and Scientists were commended on this outstanding accomplishment by the President, Prime Minister, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, and Services Chiefs.
In a separate news, the National Assembly (NA) passes a legislative measure that would prolong the military services heads’ tenures from three to five years.
Defence Minister Khawaja Asif proposes revisions to the Pakistan Army, Navy, and Air Force Acts, which were approved by a majority vote despite fierce opposition objections.
This amendment would standardize service lengths across all branches of the military by extending the term of the Chief of Army Staff and chiefs of other branches to five years.
The House later adopted the suggestions that Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar had earlier made to expand the number of judges in the Supreme Court and Islamabad High Court.
In order to expand the number of Supreme Court justices to 34, Tarar proposed the Supreme Court Practice and Procedure Ordinance for legislative approval.
The opposition erupted in protest and slogan-raising when the law was unveiled.
The minister informed the assembly on the bill’s contents despite the disturbance, emphasizing the need for more judicial capacity due to the thousands of pending cases at the Supreme Court’s registry.
