Pakistan has announced the creation of a new force - the Army Rocket Force - equipped with advanced technology and intended to serve as a "milestone" in strengthening its combat capabilities.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif made the announcement at an event late on Wednesday night to mark the 79th Independence Day and to commemorate the recent four-day military confrontation with India.
"It is a key milestone in the advancement of the country's military response capability," Sharif said while announcing the formation of the Army Rocket Force Command. He provided no further details about the new force.
