Pakistan test fires Taimoor missile claiming 600 km ship strikes raising tensions near India

The 600 km reach could reshape maritime attack plans

Pakistan says it has successfully test-fired the Taimoor air-launched cruise missile, an indigenous weapon it claims can hit enemy ships from up to 600 km away. Analysts see the move as strengthening Pakistan’s maritime strike reach amid recent naval developments. India’s naval leadership has previously pointed to Pakistani constraints during Operation Sindoor, making this test especially sensitive.
