ISLAMABAD: Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Monday claimed to have successfully test fired its first indigenously developed missile, named as “Omar 1”.

To justify its claim, the TTP, having its presence across the country and currently resisting Pak troops in the volatile tribal regions on the border with Afghanistan, has issued a statement and posted a video, practically demonstrating the launch of missile.

In the video, different parts of the missile were assembled before its launch.

TTP spokesperson Muhammad Khurassani said that the especial feature of ‘Omar 1’ is its design. “It can easily be assembled and dissembled in accordance to the situation.”

Khurassani said the effectiveness of the specially designed missile would certainly surprise the targeted enemy. “With the grace of God, you’ll soon see our enemies on the run,” he said.
