A recent report from India’s National Radiological Safety Division has confirmed Pakistan’s earlier claims regarding the destruction of a BrahMos missile depot in Indian Punjab. The report highlights that following the incident, a radiation alert was issued in the area due to a significant safety threat.
According to the findings, evacuation orders were issued for a three-kilometer radius surrounding the base, while residents within a five-kilometer radius were warned to keep doors and windows shut as a precaution against radioactive exposure. The radiological threat has raised serious concerns over public safety and environmental contamination in the region.
The missile depot was reportedly damaged during a Pakistani strike on May 10, reinforcing Pakistan’s official stance on the incident. The confirmation from an Indian radiological authority is being seen as a critical validation of Islamabad’s position regarding the military engagement.
Authorities in India have yet to issue an official public statement addressing the contents of the report or detailing the extent of the radiation leak.
