Is There A Serious Nuclear Leak In Pakistan?

There is possibly a huge new catastrophe unravelling in Pakistan. Pakistan has about 150 to 170 nuclear warheads stored in 'secure' underground storage facilities. Among these places include places known as Kirana Hills near the Sarghoda Airbase and the Chagai Hills near the Afghan border (inside Balochistan). 

First a quick video.  

My Comments: My gut feeling is  India would not have attacked nuclear sites (especially nuclear weapons storage facilities) in Pakistan. No country in their right mind would do such a thing - except maybe the British who repeatedly got the Ukrainians to attack the Zaporizhia nuclear plant in Zaporizhia, Ukraine.   

Here is a clipped news report about the nuclear leaks in Pakistan (click here for the full article).

• Nuclear radiation leak in Pakistan?
• Shehbaz Sharif emergency meeting of Nuclear Authority (NCA)
• to asses damage especially Nur Khan airbase
• sparked rumors India targeted Pakistani nuclear sites
• What did India say?
• India refuted reports of targeting any Pakistani nuclear facility
• Indian armed forces said no nuclear installation was targeted.
• US nuclear emergency support aircraft B350 AMS circled Pakistani airspace 
• aircraft tracking potential nuclear radiation.
• live tracking data of B350 AMS present on live flight tracker, Flightradar24.
• May 10 Egyptian cargo plane (from China) entered Pakistan under high-secrecy
• carrying Boron, used to control radiation leak in nuclear plants
• This flight also tracked by Flightradar24, showing it in Pakistani airspace
  

• Why Pakistan called for a ceasefire?
• report by Aaj Tak Hindi, Pakistan panicked after Nur Khan attacked
• its main nuclear site located  19 km away in Nilor

• Following attack, Pakistan appealed to US to mediate ceasefire 
• Pakistan DG Military Operations (DGMO), called Indian counterpart 
• in the morning May 10, offering an end to hostilities.
• The offer was refused by India
• Pakistan again contacted US, who called Delhi, then asked Pakistan to call India. 
• May 10 at 3:35 PM, Pakistan DGMO again contacted India 
• bilateral understanding” then reached, the report said.

My Comments: Those seismic readings, if the numbers are real, are not inconsistent with large man made explosions. It may not be a nuclear explosion but it could have been an explosion that happened in a nuclear storage facility - throwing up radioactive material. So is there a nuclear leak in Pakistan or not? If the people have been evacuated there is a possibility. Or will they just let their people glow in the dark?

The reason why  they chose the Chagai Hills in Balochistan was because of their remoteness from the Indian border.  But now with the Baloch having declared independcence from Pakistan and also the proximity to Taliban Afghanistan, it is obvious that they are closer to the fire than they were in the frying pan. What a turn of events.
