Pakistan on Wednesday claimed that it has successfully conducted a test of an enhanced version of the "indigenously" developed Babur cruise missile, according to a statement released by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). 

The ISPR statement said the cruise missile incorporates advanced aerodynamics and avionics and can strike targets on both land and sea at a range of 700 kilometres.  

“It is a low flying, terrain hugging missile, which carries certain stealth features and is capable of carrying various types of warheads,” it said.
