Pakistan is observing 26th anniversary of Youm-e-Takbeer today with national zeal and enthusiasm in remembrance of successful nuclear tests conducted on this day in 1998 that made the defense of the country invincible.
The day is commemorated every year on May 28 to remember the conduction of nuclear tests on the very day, in 1998, making 7th nuclear nation of the world and first Muslim state equipped with nuclear arsenal.
Pakistan had conducted nuclear tests in Chaghi district of Balochistan in response to five nuclear explosions conducted by India, threatening the security of Pakistan.
These nuclear tests gave a very clear message to the world that despite Pakistan is a peace-loving nation but it cannot ignore its defence needs and is capable of meeting any challenge.
