The surface-to-surface missile has a range of about 280 miles. Saturday's launch was aimed at ensuring the “operational readiness of troops,” according to a statement from the military. There was no immediate comment about the launch from India, which blames Pakistan for the April 22 gun massacre that killed 26 people in the resort town of Pahalgam. Pakistan denies the charge.
