Pakistan successfully tested a cruise missile with a range of 700 km (435 miles) on Tuesday, the military said.
The military did not say on Tuesday if the Hatf-VII (Babur) missile is nuclear-capable but it has previously identified it as such.
The test would consolidate Pakistan's strategic capability and strengthen national security, the military said in a statement.
"The Babur, which has near stealth capabilities, is a low flying, terrain hugging missile with high maneuverability, pin-point accuracy and radar avoidance features," it said.
Nuclear-armed Pakistan and India routinely carry out missile tests despite a peace process they launched in early 2004, and both have agreed to inform each other of such tests in advance.
