Pakistan Radiation Leak: The International Atomic Energy Agency has responded to reports that Pakistan’s nuclear facilities were damaged in Operation Sindoor, the Indian army’s retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack. It has clarified that Pakistan’s nuclear facilities are safe and no radiation was released. The Indian Air Force also said that there was no attack. The Ministry of External Affairs has denied the reports of radiation leakage. The IAEA has issued a statement to put an end to the fake campaigns being spread on social media.
There is a campaign going on that Pakistan’s nuclear facilities were damaged in India’s Operation Sindoor and radiation is being released from them. Moreover, there are speculations that a team of experts from America has also reached Pakistan and reviewed the situation. Recently, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has responded to this campaign. It has been clarified that Pakistan’s nuclear facilities have not been destroyed and no radiation has been released. It is known that a story is going viral on social media that the Kirana Hills nuclear facility in Sargodha, Pakistan was damaged in the Indian missile attack.
Indian Air Force Chief, Air Marshal A.K. Bharti also recently clarified that there was no Indian airstrike on Kirana Hills or any nuclear facility in Pakistan. “Thank you for the media’s report that there is a nuclear facility in Kirana Hills. We did not pay attention to such information. We did not strike there,” Bhatti said.
The Ministry of External Affairs has also denied the reports of radiation leakage. “Our military actions were within the conventional framework. There was a rumor that a meeting of the Pakistani National Command officials was being held, but Pakistan has officially denied it,” Foreign Secretary Randhir Jaiswal said in a press briefing on Wednesday. It is known that Pakistani air bases and radar stations were damaged in the Indian attack.
The IAEA has issued a statement to put an end to the false propaganda that radiation has been released. The IAEA has come forward to avoid panic after international analysts and international media reports came out about this. These rumors spread further after aircraft tracking platforms detected a US Department of Energy aircraft, which is usually deployed during nuclear accidents like Fukushima, operating near Pakistan.
There have also been reports that the Egyptian plane landed in Pakistan with radiation-fighting chemicals. However, former military officials have denied that this is true.
