If a nuclear attack occurs, its effects can be extremely devastating. However, by taking immediate and correct safety measures, the chances of survival and minimizing damage can significantly increase. Below is a detailed explanation of what to do in such a situation:
⸝
- Initial Signs of a Nuclear Explosion
⢠A bright flash of light that can blind the eyes.
⢠A loud blast sound followed by a shockwave.
⢠A âmushroom cloudâ may appear in the sky.
⸝
- Immediate Actions (The First 10 to 15 Minutes Are Critical)
a) Drop to the Ground Immediately:
⢠If youâre near the blast and the shockwave hasnât reached you yet, lie flat on the ground.
⢠Face down, cover your head with your hands.
⢠Stay away from windows â glass shards can fly and cause injury.b) Keep Your Eyes Closed:
⢠The nuclear flash can cause permanent eye damage.c) Hold Your Breath or Cover Your Nose and Mouth:
⢠After the initial shock, the air may contain radioactive particles.
⢠Breathing them in can be dangerous.⸝
- Seek Immediate Shelter:
a) If possible, go into a solid building or basement:
⢠Concrete and earth walls help block radiation.
⢠Underground spaces (basements) are best.b) If youâre outdoors, move away from open areas:
⢠Cars, buses, or huts do not provide protection.
⢠Dig a trench in the ground, lie inside it, cover your head, and face away from the explosion.⸝
- Stay Sheltered:
⢠Remain in shelter for at least 24 to 48 hours.
⢠Radiation is most dangerous in the first few hours and decreases over time.
⸝
- Food and Water:
⢠Only consume food and water that is sealed or packaged.
⢠Avoid food and water left in the open, as it may be radioactive.
⸝
- Decontaminate Your Body:
If you were outside during the blast:
⢠Immediately remove your clothing and leave it outside.
⢠Shower thoroughly with soap and warm water.
⢠Clean nose, ears, eyes, and under your fingernails.⸝
- Stay Informed:
⢠Use radio or mobile devices (if networks are working) to receive official instructions.
⢠Follow all government or military guidance strictly.
⸝
- Before Going Outside:
⢠Only leave your shelter when authorities declare it safe.
⢠Wear a mask or wet cloth over your face.
⢠Cover your entire body with long sleeves, gloves, and other protective clothing.
⸝
- Long-Term Safety Measures:
⢠If available, use a radiation dose meter to measure radiation levels.
⢠If local water sources or crops are contaminated, seek alternative supplies.
⸝

BBC VerifyBBC Verify is analyzing footage that reportedly shows the wreckage and debris of Indian aircraft involved in attacks across Pakistan-administered Kashmir and other parts of the country.
One video, allegedly from the Pampore area in Indian-administered Kashmir, appears to show the remains of a fighter jetâs drop tank being recovered. These fuel tanks are released mid-flight to reduce aircraft weight, lowering the chances of being targeted.
Another video also from Pampore shows a different piece of a drop tank at another location in the same area.
Experts from the defense intelligence firm Janes believe these tanks are typically used in Dassault Mirage 2000 jets, which are operated by the Indian Air Force.
In another video post, a claim is made that debris from an unidentified missile was found near the village of Akliyan Kalan in Bathinda, a city in the Indian state of Punjab.
Justin Crump, a former British Army officer and head of the risk intelligence company Sibylline, stated that the debris appears to be from a French air-to-air missile. This type of missile is used in both Mirage 2000 and Rafale fighter jets.

âEvery drop of innocent blood will be accounted forâ: Pakistani Military Spokesperson
Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, spokesperson for the Pakistan Army, stated during a press conference that âEvery drop of innocent blood will be accounted for.â
He said that during the night of May 6th and 7th, India targeted innocent civilians and children. âIf this isnât terrorism, then what is?â he questioned.
The DG ISPR added that Pakistanâs armed forces, in response to Indian aggression, targeted military objectives â not children like India did. âThese were military targets aimed at threatening Pakistanâs sovereignty and citizens.â
He further stated, âThese innocent children, who had yet to see the joys of life â are they the terrorists India targeted on the night of May 6th and 7th? This is what you can expect from India. We have seen before how India promotes terrorism through its proxies, and the evidence is before the world.â
He emphasized that when the state of Pakistan began tightening the noose on terrorists, India responded by directly carrying out acts of terror through its military â targeting innocent civilians and children. âIf this isnât terrorism, then what is?â
He also said it has now been proven with evidence how India is involved in cross-border terrorism and killings, and this has been presented to the international community.
DG ISPR concluded, âThe Indian military has targeted mosques in various parts of Pakistan and desecrated copies of the Holy Qurâan. What kind of religion allows the desecration of other faithsâ places of worship and sacred scriptures?â
