A team of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has submitted to the competent authority its report related to the seizure of suspicious items being shipped from China for possible use in Pakistan's nuclear weapons programme, government sources said.
According to the report of DRDO experts, the seized large-size Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines are dual-use equipment and can be used for military applications, the sources added.
Notably, security agencies at Mumbai's Nhava Sheva port intercepted a Karachi-bound ship from China suspected of containing a consignment that could be used for Pakistan's nuclear and ballistic missile programmes, said a source.
The team from the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) had examined the consignment, which is primarily suspected of being used in Pakistan's nuclear initiatives, particularly in manufacturing critical components for missile development.
