Pakistan successfully test-fired a medium-range nuclear-capable missile Saturday, a week after a new prime minister took office in nuclear-armed rival and neighbor India.

Senior officials indicated the test of the new version of the Ghauri V missile was part of routine testing to improve its missiles and would not have a negative impact on the peace process with India.

The new Ghauri V can strike most major population centers in northern India.
