India was not informed about Thursday's test because the
agreement
did not cover guided missiles, a Pakistan military spokesman
said.
There was no immediate reaction to the test from Delhi.
Mr Ahmed said the "milestone" launch had been a success,
adding:
"The nation is proud of its team of scientists who have raised
the country's
prestige in the comity of nations."
He said it was a gift from scientists to President Pervez Musharraf, 62 on Thursday.
Cruise missiles are usually low-flying guided missiles.
