Pakistan likely to test launch strategic Missile, NOTAM and Naval warnings issued

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan is likely to test-fire a missile soon.

A NOTAM (notice to airmen) and Naval warning was issued on Wednesday by Pakistani authorities raising the possibility of a missile being test-fired from Sonmiani test range near Karachi.

The notice says a military exercise will be conducted between 04040 to 0900 hours Coordinated Universal Time, August 28 and 31, 2019.

The news of Pakistan issuing a NOTAM comes even as the country's Railways Minister Sheikh Rashid echoed the words of his Prime Minister Imran Khan that the time for a decisive war on Kashmir has come. Rashid predicted in Rawalpindi on Wednesday that Pakistan and India will be fighting a war before the end of 2019, most probably in October and November.

Pakistan has developed all its offensive missile systems to target India and has also been boasting about its nuclear power status too.
