Satellite images, initially reported by The New York Times and subsequently obtained by NDTV, indicate potential reactivation of China's Lop Nur nuclear test facility in Xinjiang. The images raise concerns about China conducting full-fledged nuclear tests or subcritical experiments simulating nuclear explosions. Dr. Renny Babiarz, an international geospatial intelligence expert, analyzed the evidence, suggesting China's interest in testing new nuclear warhead designs on advanced missiles. The timing coincides with sensitive US-China relations, adding geopolitical significance to the developments at the historically significant Lop Nur facility.
