Chagai-II refers to a series of nuclear tests conducted by Pakistan on May 30, 1998. These tests were carried out shortly after India conducted its own nuclear tests earlier that month, known as Pokhran-II. Chagai-II consisted of several underground nuclear detonations in the Chagai District of Balochistan province. The tests solidified Pakistan's status as a nuclear-armed country and were met with international condemnation and sanctions.
