Click to play videoNew Delhi: India's nuclear neighbour, Pakistan, is worried by India's undersea missile test. The Chief of Naval Staff of Pakistan, Admiral Muhammad Tahir, said in Karachi on Wednesday that K-15's nuclear capability was of concern to neighbours like Pakistan.
Admiral Muhammad Tahir warned it could trigger a new arms race.
"My reaction is that this will trigger an arms race in the region. This development is taking place to put nuclear weapons at sea," he said.
He said the testing of the new missile would have an impact on the entire region.
The Pakistan Navy is tracking India's missile development programme and will take steps to counter the impact of the testing of the undersea missile, he said.
The Indian undersea missile, codenamed K-15, has a range of 700 km and was fired from a pontoon immersed in the sea as India did not have a submarine for such an exercise.
India is the fifth country after the US, Russia, France and China to possess such a capability.
The launch of the K-15 will enhance India's nuclear deterrence, as sea-launched missiles will be a crucial part of the country's second-strike capability.
