A shipyard in Cumbria and an unknown site near Edinburgh are among the sites identified on a secret list that the Russian navy would target with nuclear weapons in the event of war with NATO. Experts believe the unnamed target in Cumbria could be the Royal Navy's submarine shipyard in Barrow-in-Furness, alongside a Royal Navy shipyard at Rosyth, just outside of the Scottish capital. Altogether, 32 targets around Europe are named as potential target sites for the Russian navy within the dossier, which predates the invasion of Ukraine.

A North Korean Hwasong-11 series ballistic missile landed in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on January 2, an United Nations report revealed last week. Since January, dozens of North Korean missiles have been fired by Russia into Ukraine, killing at least 24 people and injuring more than 70. An investigation has since revealed that within just a matter of months North Korea managed to illicitly obtain 'vital' weapons parts, sneak them into the country, assemble their missiles and secretly ship them to Russia.Experts suspect North Korea has been supplying the weaponry in exchange for Moscow's technical assistance for Pyongyang's budding spy satellite programme.

'It's still 90 seconds to midnight': according to the Doomsday Clock, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists' scathing admission in January 2024, marking the second year in a row that the world's fate has been postponed.' The conflict in Ukraine, North Korean peacocking, and the breakdown of a deal with Iran to limit proliferation have all contributed to the discussion of the nuclear threat in recent years. Fear is exploited by the Russian propaganda machine, with Putin and his allies repeating explicit warnings of Moscow's readiness to use "all available means" to shield her citizens if they were to be hurt, as well as the possibility of 'accident' Armageddon reaching London.

Satellite photographs shared with DailyMail.com show significant developments in recent years at the Nevada National Security Site in the United States, China's Lop Nur test site, and Russia's arctic Novaya Zemlya. Although there is no evidence that a nuclear test is imminent at any of the three locations, experts are concerned that the three powers are closer to the resuming of underground experiments for the first time since 1996. 'I'm sure we're seeing that Russia, China, and the United States could restart nuclear testing,' Jeffrey Lewis, an adjunct professor at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, told CNN, who first published the photographs.

Staff that support the UK's nuclear arsenals will vote on strike action, with fears that Putin might launch one of his own bombs. Union Prospect said it would elect its members working at HH Naval Base Clyde in Aldermaston, Berks (left), and Faslane's (right, top and bottom) amid a continuing fight with the company over pay. In the meantime, rumors are mounting that Putin may be planning some sort of nuclear demonstration of force, including the first open-air detonation of an atomic bomb since the 1960s, possibly over the Black Sea.

Vladimir Putin has stated consistently that he will kill anyone involved in the Ukraine war, and although experts agree that the chances of a strike on the West are slim, the possibility is not discounted. Joe Biden has personally advised that the chances of 'Armageddon' have never been greater than at any other time since the Cuban Missile Crisis. So, what would actually happen if a nuclear bomb were to strike London (top left), Washington DC (top right), New York (bottom left), or Paris (bottom right)? Dr. Jeffrey Lewis, a Middlebury Institute scientist, leads MailOnline through the wretched aftermath, including the monuments that will be entirely destroyed and the places where people will be most likely to recover.

North Korea's latest series of missile launches, according to the company, were tests of its tactical nuclear weapons' to 'hit and wipe out' potential South Korean and US targets. Kim Jong Ung Un, the country's top test, has confirmed that he will perform more challenging experiments in the coming weeks. The statement, released on the 77th birthday of the country's ruling Workers Party, is seen as an attempt to galvanize public opinion behind Kim. Kim is facing pandemic economic hardships, a security threat posed by the increased US-South Korean military alliance, as well as other difficulties. According to the Korean Central News Agency, the missile tests were in response to recent naval drills between US and South Korean forces involving USS Ronald Reagan.
