Amid escalating tensions following the Pahalgam terror attack, India views Pakistan's ballistic missile test as a "blatant act of provocation." While Islamabad claims the launch was for operational readiness and provided prior notification, New Delhi perceives it as a deliberate attempt to heighten tensions. India has promised severe punishment for the terror attack and taken punitive measures against Pakistan.
