Baloch Rights Group Reveals Failed Ababeel Missile Test Near Civilians

A report from the Baloch National Movement alleges that on July 11, 2025, the Pakistan Navy conducted unannounced missile launches near civilian areas in Balochistan, specifically implicating a failed test of the Ababeel missile system. Eyewitness accounts and debris analysis suggest the launches originated from Jinnah Naval Base, raising serious safety and security concerns due to the proximity of populated areas. The Ababeel missile, designed as a medium-range ballistic missile with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicles (MIRVs), has faced repeated failures, including a prominent crash near Dera Bugti on July 20, 2025, underscoring persistent technical issues and risks to local populations. These incidents exacerbate regional tensions, highlighting Pakistan’s unreliable missile testing practices affecting civilian safety and raising strategic doubts about their second-strike capabilities against India’s advanced missile defense systems.
