The Pakistan military said on Monday it had conducted a second missile test since a fresh stand-off with India over the disputed region of Kashmir.
New Delhi has blamed Islamabad for backing a deadly attack on tourists on the Indian side of the divided territory last month, sparking a series of heated threats and diplomatic tit-for-tat measures, said AFP.
The missile test comes as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was in Islamabad on Monday for talks with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, before heading to New Delhi later this week.
Araghchi will be the first senior foreign diplomat to visit both countries, after Iran offered to mediate between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
“We do not want tensions to develop in this region and we will spare no effort to help de-escalate the situation between the two countries," Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said.
The Pakistan military tested a surface-to-surface missile with a range of 120 kilometers (75 miles), according to Monday's statement.
"The launch was aimed at ensuring the operational readiness of troops and validating key technical parameters, including the missile's advanced navigation system and enhanced accuracy," the military said.
On Saturday, the military said it had tested a surface-to-surface missile with a range of 450 kilometers.
It did not say where either of the tests took place.
Sharif said he was satisfied with the military's "full preparedness for national defense".
"The successful training launch clearly shows that Pakistan's defense is in strong hands," he said in a statement.
Muslim-majority Kashmir, a region of around 15 million people, is divided between Pakistan and India but claimed in full by both.
No group has claimed responsibility for the April 22 attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people, but rebels have waged an insurgency since 1989.
Pakistan has denied any involvement and called for an independent probe.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said last week he has given his military "full operational freedom" to respond and Islamabad has warned it will respond with force to any aggression.
International pressure has been piled on both New Delhi and Islamabad -- who have fought several wars over the disputed Kashmir region -- to de-escalate.
US Vice President JD Vance has called on India to respond to the attack in a way "that doesn't lead to a broader regional conflict".
In an interview with Fox News, he also urged Pakistan to "make sure that the terrorists sometimes operating in their territory are hunted down and dealt with".
Russia called for de-escalation between the two countries, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov telling reporters on Monday that Moscow was "following with great concern the atmosphere that has developed on the border".
"Pakistan is presenting its case to friendly countries," Information Minister Attaullah Tarar told reporters on a visit to Pakistan-administered Kashmir on Monday.
The two sides have exchanged nightly gunfire for more than a week along the militarized Line of Control, the de facto border, according to Indian defense sources.
In Indian-run Kashmir, a vast manhunt seeking the gunmen continues across the territory, while those living along the frontier are moving further away -- or cleaning out bunkers fearing conflict.
On the Pakistani side, emergency drills have been carried out on playing fields, residents have been told to stock up on food and medicine, and religious schools have been closed.
Sharif has postponed an official visit to Malaysia scheduled for Friday, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Monday.

THE black box retrieved from the doomed Voepass flight has revealed the final chilling sounds heard before all 62 on board plunged to their death
One last attempt of salvation and terrified screams were captured on the cockpit's voice recorder before the passenger jet crashed in Brazil last Friday
According to the transcript, the pilot and co-pilot noted a sharp drop in altitude approximately one minute before the crash, Brazilian television network Globo revealed on Wednesday
Co-pilot Humberto de Campos Alencar e Silva asked "what was happening" before requesting an increase in power to stabilise the plane and prevent it from falling
The harrowing two-hour recording ended with terrified screams from inside the aircraft and a loud bang
with 30 bodies released to their families so far
But they ensured that they were unable to locate any distinctive warning noises, such as those that would indicate an electrical malfunction, a fire, or an engine failure.
A preliminary report on the crash should be completed in 30 days as no official cause has been determined yet, Globo reports.
Initial data pointed to the formation of ice on the plane's wings, which experts suggested as a strong probable cause of the crash.
Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) will also be audited by the Federal Court of Auditors
The audit will evaluate the effectiveness of ANAC's requirements for performing aircraft repairs
the suitability of maintenance businesses' inspection protocols
and the organisation's performance in looking into and handling aviation mishaps
The Voepass Airlines plane was previously labelled an "old wreck" and was only in service for weeks before the deadly plunge
Passengers and their families complained about the aircraft just 24 hours before it spiralled down to the ground and exploded in a huge fireball last week
The plane smashed into a residential area of the city of Vinhedo
with neighbours filming it dropping and crashing
The tragedy happened at about 1.25pm on Friday Brazilian time after the plane took off at midday
Valinhos City Hall later confirmed all on board were dead and that no residents on the ground were injured or killed
One grieving mother said that Friday's crash "wasn’t a fatality, it was a crime" after the plane horrifically dropped out of the sky in a death spiral
Maria de Fátima Albuquerque lost her daughter Arianne Albuquerque Risso in the crash
who was a resident doctor in oncology at the Cascavel Cancer Hospital
An emotional Mrs Albuquerque told Globo G1 on Sunday: “It wasn’t a fatality
anyone who was on that plane would have died
A tragic passenger on the fatal flight had also sent messages to her family saying she was “scared” of the “old” plane
had expressed her concern about the ATR 72-500 aircraft in the family chat group shortly after boarding
told her to read a Psalm to calm her nerves
Rosemeire saw on the news that a plane had crashed
I started running around the house screaming.”
Rosana was heading back to her home in Franco da Rocha near São Paulo
The plane had also been undergoing a series of maintenance shutdowns, Brazilian news programme Fantastico has found
the Voepass aircraft experienced a hydraulic problem and abnormal contact with the runway that caused "structural damage"
leaving the aircraft out of operation for four months
And just a day before Friday's horror crash
passengers on board the same plane reported suffering from the sweltering heat due to faulty air conditioning
passengers reported that they faced extreme heat due to the malfunctioning air conditioning
with one of them saying the temperature was "unbearable"
People were trying to cool down as best they could
with one man even taking off his shirt because of the sweltering heat
The Voepass is the plane crash with the highest number of victims since the doomed TAM flight in 2007 that left 199 dead

The black box from the horrific plane crash in Brazil last week is said to have revealed the final moments of those on board
On August 9, a VoePass plane flying from Cascavel in Paraná to Guarulhos in São Paulo plummeted to the ground
The exact cause of the crash is not yet clear but an investigation has been launched
The aircraft crashed in a residential area of Vinhedo
and by some miracle no one on the ground was hurt
The Brazilian Air Force has shared in a statement that the plane was flying normally at 1:20 pm but soon stopped responding to air traffic control
with 30 bodies having been released to their families so far
The propellers of the ATR 72-500 are located quite near to the cockpit on top of the fuselage
which investigators claimed creates excessive noise
reportedly making it more difficult to understand the conversations
However, the Brazilian television network Globo reported on August 14 that the recovered the black box revealed the two pilots had reportedly realized there was a sharp drop in altitude
Copilot Humberto de Campos Alencar e Silva was said to have questioned 'what was happening' and asked for an increase in power in order to stabilize the plane and prevent it from falling
this took place just one minute before the crash
it is also believed that only one minute passed between the jet losing altitude and spiralling down to the ground
The recording reportedly ended with the screams of passengers inside the aircraft and a loud bang
one person who was meant to be on the flight has spoken out about not being allowed to board the doomed flight
Adriano Assis wasn’t allowed to board the plane after he had an issue due to running late after mixing up his flights
VoePass said: "The aircraft took off from Cascavel-PR bound for Guarulhos Airport
with 58 passengers and four crew members on board
VOEPASS has taken all measures to support those involved
"There is still no confirmation of how the accident occurred or the current situation of the people on board
The Company is providing support via telephone at 0800 9419712
providing information to all its passengers
UNILAD has contacted the Brazilian Air Force for comment
