The Ghauri-II (Urdu: غوری-اا) is a land-based medium range guided ballistic missile designed and developed by the Khan Research Laboratories.
Developed in response to India's Agni-II, its propellant technology is influenced from the Nodong-1 of North Korea.: 245 [1]
Only two tests of Ghauri-II were conducted in 1999 and in 2004, but no military designation for deployment was ever assigned by the Pakistani military.: 246 [1][2]
