Has Pakistan bought Chinese SH-15 Howitzer for its 'miniaturized' nuclear shells?

The SH-15 appeared this week at a Defence Expo in Karachi. Pakistan is learnt to have ordered more than 50, enough for three artillery regiments.
Pakistan seems to have procured another ultra-modern piece of artillery equipment from China — the SH-15 howitzer. And the significance for India is that the system could be nuclear-capable if Pakistan’s attempts to miniaturize nuclear weapons has been successful.
The howitzer made an appearance at Pakistan’s 10th International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS), organized in Karachi this week. Only one picture of the weapon appeared, indicating some kind of secrecy or embargo, but that was enough to confirm that Pakistan has begun importing the system.

The howitzer system is operated by a crew of five and carries almost 22.5 tons of load.
It is protected against small arms firing and shell splinters by an armoured cabin at the front, which has all bulletproof windows and windshields.
The 155mm/52 calibre long-barrel howitzer is fitted with a double-baffle muzzle brake. It has four boxes for carrying 60 rounds of ammunition as the first line.
Northern Industries Corporation (NORINCO), the state-run Defence manufacturer that makes the SH-15, claims it has a maximum firing range of 53 km with a rocket-assisted artillery projectile, similar to the eight-year-old SH-1 system.
The elevation and traverse of this howitzer are operated hydraulically. It can also be operated by manual controls in case of emergencies. The maximum rate of fire is six rounds per minute.
The SH-15 can be used to perform a direct firing role, which the Pakistan Army seems very fond of.
