The social media has been abuzz with claims that Indian missiles hit the nuclear weapons storage facility in Pakistan’s Kirana. Some have posted before-and-after images of the area, while others have been sharing memes claiming that the move was a “warning shot that panicked the neighbours into begging for a ceasefire". The Atomic Energy Agency, however, has now come forward to burst the bubble.
The IAEA clarified on Wednesday there was no radiation leak or release from any nuclear facility in Pakistan, and neither there was any radioactive incident as claimed on social media.
The Times Of India had emailed a query to the agency, following which Fredrik Dahl from IAEA’s press department responded: “We are aware of the reports. Based on information available to the IAEA, there was no radiation leak or release from any nuclear facility in Pakistan."
The IAEA’s Incident and Emergency Centre, established in 2005, serves as the primary hub for coordinating international assistance in emergency preparedness and response to radiation incidents and emergencies, regardless of their cause or severity.
