India has firmly denied targeting Pakistan’s Kirana Hills nuclear site during its recent Operation Sindoor airstrikes, countering rising online claims of a radiation leak. The Indian Air Force confirmed it hit several military targets, including the Sargodha region, but rejected reports of striking nuclear infrastructure. Speculation intensified after a US aircraft designed for detecting radioactive contamination was spotted over Pakistani airspace, though its presence remains unverified. Satellite imagery showed damage to airbases near Kirana Hills, but India maintains it did not target the region directly. No official radiation emergency has been declared by Pakistan or international bodies. (PC: economic times)
