The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has dismissed Indian claims regarding a radiation leak from a Pakistani nuclear facility, calling the allegations baseless and unsupported by any evidence.
India’s Defence Minister and media outlets had earlier propagated that a missile strike allegedly damaged a nuclear installation in Pakistan’s Kirana Hills, resulting in a supposed radiation leak. The Indian minister had also urged the IAEA to impose restrictions and take action against Pakistan.
In response, the IAEA dispatched a technical team to Pakistan for an on-ground assessment. The agency has now confirmed that Pakistan’s nuclear installations remain completely secure and have not suffered any damage from missile strikes.

“There is no evidence of any radiation leak from any Pakistani nuclear facility,” the IAEA said in an official statement, effectively exposing India’s disinformation campaign.
The agency’s findings have not only countered India’s narrative but also reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to international nuclear safety standards.
The propaganda comes in the wake of the recent Pahalgam incident, after which India has intensified efforts to malign Pakistan internationally. However, repeated attempts have failed, with the latest being refuted by the world’s top nuclear watchdog.
Analysts say this episode once again highlights the importance of independent verification and the dangers of politically motivated disinformation during regional tensions.
