A recent report from India’s National Radiological Safety Division has validated Pakistan’s claims about the destruction of a BrahMos missile depot in Punjab. The report revealed that the incident triggered a radiation alert due to significant safety risks in the area.
Following the strike, evacuation orders were issued within a three-kilometer radius, while residents up to five kilometers away were advised to keep their doors and windows closed to avoid radioactive exposure. The situation has raised concerns about public safety and environmental contamination.
