Unravelling the secret of Kirana Hills: The hidden chapter in Pakistan’s obsession with nuclear prowess

Unravelling the secret of Kirana Hills: The hidden chapter in Pakistan’s obsession with nuclear prowess

The importance of Kirana Hills for Pakistan can be gauged from the fact that infrastructure was developed here for the storage of nuclear weapons and the development of launching systems. New Delhi: Kirana Hills, which is in Pakistan’s Punjab, has hogged the limelight as New Delhi and Islamabad went to the brink of war in the wake of India’s Operation Sindoor. Under Operation Sindoor, the Indian Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure deep inside Pakistan as well as Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Pakistan retaliated to India’s strikes on terror by attacking civilian and military targets in India. India upped the escalation ladder by decimating 11 airbases in Pakistan, which implies significant destruction to the Pakistan Air Force’s infrastructure.  Amid Indian attacks on Pakistani airbases, Kirana Hills has found itself in discourse with claims that it has become one of the targets of India’s retaliatory measures against Pakistan. However, the Indian Air Force, represented by AK Bharti, in the DGMO’s press conference, abjectly rejected the claim, asserting India did not attack the location in question.  Where is Kirana …

After the underwhelming box office performance of Ajith Kumar’s Vidaamuyarchi, Tamil star Dhanush is coming with his next venture, Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam (NEEK), at the box office.

IND vs ENG: How Rohit Sharma proved talks of his waning prowess was grossly exaggerated with his second fastest hundred | Cricket News

Rohit Sharma had forewarned of writing him off in this version just yet. A seven-ball outing in Nagpur may have held the question over his head intact. But in a 142-minute masterclass at the Barabati Stadium on Sunday, the Indian captain wiped out detractors and England’s 304-run defence with his 32nd ODI century. First-game heroes Shubman Gill (60) and Shreyas Iyer (44) chipped in before India claimed a four-wicket victory and the series win with 33 balls to spare. On a day where the pacers were blunted by the England top-order, Ravindra Jadeja’s metronomic 3/35 had earlier denied the visitors a higher finish. When the local media reacted with rapturous applause to an early Rohit maximum, a couple of their English counterparts were left wondering if they were teleported to the Western Terrace back home at Headingley for a moment. For the Indian captain though, Sunday was all about reconnecting with happier times from not so long ago. 𝙄. 𝘾. 𝙔. 𝙈.
