International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has officially refuted reports suggesting a radiation leak from Pakistan's nuclear facilities following India's strikes during Operation Sindoor against Pakistan.
Ukraine team, but not Zelensky will hold talks with Russia: Kyiv official International Atomic Energy Agency has officially refuted reports suggesting a radiation leak from Pakistan's nuclear facilities following India's strikes during Operation Sindoor against Pakistan.
These fake claims, which were circulated by Indian media, alleged that Indian missiles had struck the Kirana Hills in Pakistan's Sargodha district, leading to a radioactive incident. However, the IAEA clarified that there is no evidence supporting these assertions. Fredrik Dahl, a spokesperson for the IAEA, stated,"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." This statement aims to dispel misinformation and underscores the professionalism and restraint exercised by both countries in nuclear matters. Indian defense officials have also denied targeting any nuclear installations during the operation. Air Marshal A K Bharti, Director General of Air Operations, emphasized that the Indian Air Force did not strike the Kirana Hills or any nuclear facilities in Pakistan. He remarked,"We have not hit Kirana Hills and whatever is there." The Indian Ministry of External Affairs supported this stance, asserting that the military actions were confined to conventional targets and did not involve nuclear sites. Both India and Pakistan are bound by a 1988 accord prohibiting attacks on each other's nuclear facilities, emphasizing the professionalism of the Indian armed forces. The IAEA's clarification serves to counteract misinformation by India. Posted 12:26 AM, 14 May, 2025
