Islamabad , Pakistan ( CNN ) -- Pakistan has test-fired two ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads , the military said Saturday . Both the Shaheen-1 , which can hit a target 400 miles ( 650 kilometers ) away , and the Ghazvani , with a range of 180 miles ( 290 kilometers ) , were fired successfully , Pakistan military officials said .

He said that Pakistan 's armed forces were `` fully capable of safeguarding Pakistan 's security against all kinds of aggression , '' according to the statement . Gilani mentioned last month 's Nuclear Security Summit hosted by President Obama in Washington , an event aimed at enhancing international cooperation to prevent nuclear terrorism . Much of the event focused on Iran 's nuclear program , which has drawn deep concerns from the West . However , the international community also has had concerns about the stability of the Pakistani government and the security of its nuclear arsenal , questioning whether it 's safe from the hands of the Taliban . Gilani on Saturday said the world can now move `` beyond safety and security concerns , '' the statement said . `` These were laid to rest at the Nuclear Security Summit where Pakistan forcefully projected a forthright stance on the issue and the world expressed satisfaction at Pakistan 's nuclear security arrangements . '' Estimates of Pakistan 's nuclear arsenal currently range from 60 to 100 weapons . It first declared its status as a nuclear power in 1998 , testing five bombs in an exchange with its south Asian archrival , India .
