In late September 1999 it was reported that Pakistan had successfully
completed the trials of Ghauri-III missile's engine at Kahuta Research
Laboratories. Ghauri-III would cover the range of over 3,000 kilometres.
Based on the close connection between the Ghauri and the North Korean
Nodong missile, it is reasonable to believe that the Ghauri-III
represents a Pakistani derivative of the two-stage North Korean
Taepodong-1 missile, which uses the Nodong as a first stage.
The existence of a "Ghauri-II" missile is evidently implicit in the
"Ghauri-III" nomenclature, although there are no indications to identify
or substantiate the existence of such as missile program.
In late May 1998 Dawn reported that Pakistan launched
two long range missiles, the Abdali and the Ghaznavi, both capable of
carrying nuclear warheads. The report said the Abdali missile was fired
from from a submarine. The report quoted sources as saying
that the missile had a range of 2,500 km. However there has been no
confirmation of the missile tests, and Pakistan does not have a
submarine that would be suitable for firing such a missile.
Pakistan Army has many types of ballistic and guided missiles. One of them is Abdali Missile known as ABDALI-SRBM. It's a short range missile. Read about design, development, warhead and payload of this missile here.
