Pakistan has conducted a successful flight test of a locally developed cruise missile named “Ra’ad” with a range of 350 kilometers (around 218 miles), the military said, according to AFP.

“The state of the art Ra’ad ALCM (air-launched cruise missile) is equipped with highly advanced guidance and navigation system that ensures engagement of targets with pin point accuracy,” the military said in a statement.

Pakistan test-fired a ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead on Dec. 15 last year.
