OSLO – The world’s number of operational nuclear warheads has grown, driven largely by Russia and China, as nuclear tensions have risen since the war in Ukraine.
Those weapons have a “collective destructive power” equal to “more than 135,000 Hiroshima bombs”, the report said. “This increase is worrying, and continues a trend that started in 2017,” Ms Grethe Lauglo Ostern, editor of the Nuclear Weapons Ban Monitor, said in a statement. In the same year, the number of nuclear weapons fell from 12,705 to 12,512, due to the decommissioning of old warheads in Russia and the United States.
