Viral video misrepresents U.S. nuclear test as Indian

ndtv.com

A video claiming to show a nuclear test in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, is circulating on social media. The video depicts a blast creating a large crater, but it is actually from a U.S. nuclear test conducted in 2007. Fact-checking reveals that the video is credited to the U.S. Department of Energy and has been online since 2007. No credible evidence supports the claim of a nuclear test in Bareilly, and India's known tests occurred in Pokhran, Rajasthan. The viral video is unrelated to India and misrepresents a U.S. underground nuclear test. Official statements confirm that India has not conducted any nuclear tests beyond those in 1974 and 1998.
