India worries Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal’s security, while the IAEA rejects any radiation leakage.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has called for international oversight of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, questioning their safety in the hands of what he termed a “rogue and irresponsible nation.” During his visit to Jammu and Kashmir, Singh urged the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to monitor Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. Meanwhile, the IAEA has clarified that there was no radiation leak from Pakistani nuclear facilities during the recent conflict.
Air Marshal A K Bharti dismissed claims that India targeted Kirana Hills, a site linked to Pakistan’s nuclear infrastructure, stating that India’s strikes were confined to an airbase in Sargodha. The External Affairs Ministry also refuted US President Donald Trump’s assertion that he had prevented a nuclear conflict, emphasizing that India’s actions remained within conventional warfare.

Assam: Climate history is used in fossil studies to forecast biological changes.

The discovery of fossilized Nothopegia species in Assam’s Makum coalfields sheds light on historic plant migration due to climate change. Researchers from the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences found fossilized leaf remains of Nothopegia oligo travancorica and Nothopegia oligo castaneifolia, suggesting that these species, once widespread in northern and northeastern India, migrated southward as temperatures dropped following the Himalayan uplift. Now restricted to pockets in the Western Ghats, their survival underscores the role of low-latitude warm refuges in preserving biodiversity. Scientists warn that global warming could further threaten endemic species, leading to local extinctions.
