'Only Had 30 Seconds...': Pak PM's Advisor Reveals What Happened When India Fired BrahMos Missile
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's advisor, Rana Sanaullah, recently admitted that Islamabad had only 30 to 45 seconds to assess whether the BrahMos cruise missile fired by India during Operation Sindoor and headed toward the Nur Khan Airbase carried a nuclear warhead. Sanaullah said that even the slightest misunderstanding or misjudgment in those critical seconds could have triggered a nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan. Nur Khan is a major Pakistani Air Force airbase situated in Rawalpindi's Chaklala. The airbase was among 11 such sites hit by Indian strikes during Operation Sindoor. The Indian Air Force had also struck Sargodha, Rafiqui, Jacobabad, and Murid airbases.#shehbazsharif #ranasanaullah #brahmos #operationsindoor #nurkhanairbase #nuclearwar #indiapakistan #nucleartensions #pakistanairforce #indianairforce #rawalpindi #missilecrisis #geopolitics #southasia #nuclearalert #airbases #strategicthreat #indiapakistannuclear #regionalconflict #defensealert #internationalrelations #toi #toibharat Read More

Tirupati: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu urged farmers and pulp unit owners to set aside differences and work together to resolve the mango crisis. During his Kuppam tour, Naidu met with farmers, pulp unit owners, and stakeholders, assuring government support and consideration of their concerns.
