NUCLEAR BLAST IN INDIA



The north Indian city of Srinager was the site of a nuclear explosion this afternoon. Initial reports estimate at least 300,000 dead in the blast.

The explosion, which took place at 11:38 local time, has not yet been determined as either the result of an attack by another nation or an act of terrorism. India has ordered the mobilization of their military and has put their own nuclear arsenal on high alert.

Srinager was in the midst of a series of festivals leading up to Rath Yatra. Over forty thousand tourists travel to the city for the summer festival every year, and the explosion took place during one of the main events.

The Indian military has moved to isolate the site, and is in the process of evacuating people outside of the range of the blast site.

Prime Minister Singh has denounced the attack in the strongest possible terms. In a public call for calm, Singh vowed that India would not allow this attack to go unanswered, and that the people or nations responsible for the attack would face the full weight of the Indian military.

Britian, the United States, and China have offered humanitarian aid and assistance in the face of the attack.
