Global Nuclear Test Sites Show Heightened Activity: Exclusive Satellite Images

Satellite images obtained by CNN show increased activity at nuclear test sites in Russia, China, and the United States, indicating recent expansions and preparations for potential nuclear testing. While there is no evidence of imminent tests, the images reveal new tunnels, roads, storage facilities, and increased vehicle traffic at the sites. Analysts warn that these developments could fuel an arms race and escalate tensions between the major nuclear powers. The expansions come at a time of deep mistrust and rising global tensions, with the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists setting its Doomsday Clock to 90 seconds to midnight, the most precarious setting since its inception.
