New map shows potential nuclear impact on UK cities amid rising tensions with Russia
Recent developments have heightened fears of nuclear conflict, particularly involving Russia's nuclear capabilities. A new interactive map shows potential impacts on the UK if nuclear weapons were deployed, identifying 38 towns and cities as likely targets. London is highlighted as a primary target, with a hypothetical strike in Trafalgar Square potentially vaporizing everything within a 6.71 km radius. Other major cities, including Manchester and Cardiff, would also face severe destruction and widespread casualties from varying blast and radiation zones. The map illustrates the extensive damage expected across the UK, with many areas experiencing immediate fatalities and long-term health risks. The situation remains tense as global leaders monitor Russia's military actions and nuclear threats.
