‘Our targets were…’: What India said on Pakistan ‘nuclear leakage’ buzz

Ministry of external affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal on Tuesday addressed questions about reports around Pakistan’s nuclear facility in Kirana Hills in context with India's Operation Sindoor military strikes, saying that it was for the Pakistani side to respond to claims being made over it. In the press briefing on Tuesday, Randhir Jaiswal was asked about social media buzz on ‘nuclear leakage’ in Pakistan after the Indian strikes. Follow India Pakistan news live updates

“Talk of Egyptian or American aircraft — those are questions for them (Pakistan) to answer, not for us. Our position was made very clear during the defence briefing. As for your question, the Pakistani minister has already made some remarks on that,” he said.

Clarifying India’s stance, he added, “Our military action was entirely within the conventional domain. There were some reports suggesting that Pakistan's National Command Authority would convene, but those were later denied. In fact, Pakistan’s government representatives have officially denied this on record.”

Jaiswal also reiterated India’s broader policy approach:

“As you know, India has a firm stand that it will not give in to nuclear blackmail or allow cross-border terrorism to be conducted, invoking it in conversations with various countries, we've also cautioned that they subscribing to such scenarios would hurt them in their own region
