Accident near Pakistani nuclear weapons facility






India’s air strike on the Jaish-e-Mohammed terror camp in Balakot in Pakistan last month crossed a strategic red line and called Pakistan’s nuclear bluff.

It forced Pakistan to shut its entire air space for days, use its air force to try and target India, exchange fire on land and send its entire navy out on patrols for more than a week after the strikes.

Exclusive satellite images accessed by ThePrint also show that there was some activity at Pakistan’s nuclear weapons storage and launch facilities in the aftermath of the 26 February strike on Balakot.

The images also indicate that there might have been an accident or incident near the Khuzdar garrison nuclear weapons storage facility in Balochistan province.

Such incidents are very rarely made public and satellite imagery is possibly the only credible source to indicate what may have happened in the area. ThePrint analyses imagery of some of Pakistan’s main nuclear weapons facilities.
