Verification: Viral Document On Nuclear Leak in Pakistan Is Fake
While the Operation Sindoor was on, lots of misleading information was being passed on by people on social media. A purported office memorandum issued by Pakistan’s Ministry of Climate Change & environmental Coordination has gone viral on social media. This so-called memorandum ‘confirms’ a radiation leak at a facility in the ‘Northern Administrative Zone’. An image of the memo has been shared below:
The shared post is misleading. No Pakistani government website lists the official who was described in the “document” as the main point of contact about the situation.

#OperationSindoor | Delhi: When asked if India hit Kirana Hills, Air Marshal AK Bharti says, "Thank you for telling us that Kirana Hills houses some nuclear installation, we did not know about it. We have not hit Kirana Hills, whatever is there." pic.twitter.com/wcBBVIhif1

The “document” opened with a self-conflicting marking saying it’s both “confidential” (thus, meant for limited access) and prepared for “immediate release” (thus, meant to be unrestricted for the general public). The timing of the supposed incident,t — a key detail of the said “report” — was described in nonexistent terms. In the military time format, one day is divided into 24 hours; “24-55 hours” dosent make any sense. It is supposed to be 0055 hours. There are numerous mistakes in the fake Memo. Twitter users also pointed towards mistakes. Check the screenshot from a reply to the fake post shared by Abhi on Twitter.

Last but not least, the “memo” stated that the International Atomic Energy Agency was formally notified “under bilıkeral togical (wrong spelling) incident framework” about the supposed leak, but nothing was found on Google search across the organisation’s website and did not produce a public confirmation. This writing did not show credible reports corroborating the claim.
The fake document is being circulated with false claims of a Nuclear Radiation leak in Kirana Hill, Sargodha, Punjab, in Pakistan.
Kirana Hills has a Pakistan military ammunition and missile storage facility along with an underground facility. It was hit by the IAF on 10 May 25.
Claim – Radiation Leak In Pakistan.
Conclusion – ‘Confidential’ Memo Does NOT Prove Radiation Leak In Northern Pakistan.
