Okay, so here’s a big one – some really shocking stuff is being whispered around, especially from some Pakistani sources. The buzz is that when India carried out its airstrike on Nur Khan Airbase during Operation Sand Dune, it might’ve accidentally (or maybe not?) hit or damaged a nuclear site, causing radioactive material to leak into the air. Yeah, you read that right – nuclear radiation leak.
Now, India is totally denying this. According to official Indian statements, the strike was purely on terror-linked targets, and they’re saying, “We hit only Nur Khan base because it was being used for terror operations. We didn’t even go near nuclear facilities.” But still, these claims from the Pakistani side are floating around – that there’s been a nuclear radiation leak and air contamination in the region.
If that’s even partially true, it’s honestly super dangerous for both countries. Why? Because winds travel from Pakistan to India, and if radiation particles are actually in the air, that’s bad news for a lot of people – not just military folks, but normal civilians too.
Some people are even saying that this nuclear scare is one of the main reasons why the USA (and maybe Trump personally) stepped in quickly to cool things down between India and Pakistan. Like, no one wants a war – but especially not a war that could accidentally cause a nuclear disaster.
At the end of the day, both India and Pakistan need to be super careful. War is already a bad thing, but once nuclear stuff starts coming into play, it gets terrifying.
Let’s just hope this “leak” talk is just a rumor… because if not, we’re talking about a potential crisis that could affect millions on both sides.
