Indian Report Confirms Pakistan’s Claim of BrahMos Missile Depot Destruction in Punjab

A recent report by India’s National Radiological Safety Division has confirmed Pakistan’s claims regarding the destruction of a BrahMos missile depot in Indian Punjab, following an alleged Pakistani strike on May 10. This marks a significant validation of Islamabad’s stance, which had previously been met with silence from New Delhi.

According to the report, the incident triggered a radiological emergency in the surrounding area. A radiation alert was issued due to a serious safety threat, prompting the evacuation of residents within a 3-kilometer radius. Additionally, precautionary advisories were given to residents within a 5-kilometer range, urging them to keep doors and windows closed to minimize radiation exposure.

The report has raised widespread public safety and environmental concerns in the region, pointing to the potentially hazardous fallout of the incident. Though the full extent of the radiological impact remains undisclosed, the evacuation and alerts indicate a level of severity that contradicts the Indian government’s silence.

Notably, the BrahMos missile depot attack had been officially reported by Pakistani authorities earlier this month. Until now, India had neither confirmed nor denied the event publicly. The findings in the Indian radiological safety report are being viewed as an implicit acknowledgment and a critical corroboration of Pakistan’s claims.

Despite the mounting evidence, the Indian government has yet to release a formal public statement detailing the extent of damage or addressing the reported radiological leak. The absence of transparent communication has fueled speculation and concern among analysts and civilians alike, both within India and internationally.
