Here is satellite imagery showing marks of a munitions hit on Pakistani nuclear storage facility in Kirana Hills.
The facility has storage site for conventional munitions as well as nuclear weapons. This section, which is constructed under the rocky hill, most likely serves
1/
as storage or command centre for a part of Pakistani nuclear arsenal. The image quality is not as good as I wanted, but it'll have to do for now. A regular warhead would've exploded on surface causing a large crater and a lot of rubble. Here, the small hole indicates use of a
2/
earth penetrating warhead which penetrated a few meters before exploding. The size of crater will be small as the explosion & it's effects will be felt underground. A Brahmos version was designed to hit targets on a vertical dive for targets like this.

This is huge!
Kirna Hilla, a hardened military storage site for nuclear weapons and conventional ammunitions in near Mushaf Airbase (Sargodha) hit by multiple Indian missile/bombs.

Source video of screenshot.
First impression is of bunker busting munitions which can penetrate a few meters of rocky ground and explode inside. 2 near simultaneous explosions will cause most structures in middle to collapse.
Paki nuke stock hit? 2/
It's very likely that paki nukes were targeted in this strike and there have been multiple hits on the complex. Destruction of Mushaf Airbase's runway prevented Paki fighters from running interference.
Congratulations to all involved in the excellent mission planning. 3/
Since illegal #Chinese funding to Indian journalists (and others) is in news, here is a partial list of Chinese organisations which work for CCP and are most likely involved in this scenario. Info provided here has some gaps & I won't go into details, but take a look.

It starts with Strategic Support Force (SSF) & Ministry of State Security (MSS). They command or work with a wide network of local and foreign organisations involved in propaganda, espionage, warfare and R&D. SSF is involved in space, weapon development and other things too.

SSF's oversees multiple departments & I'm not 100% sure about exact hierarchy yet. So take it FWIW.
Network Systems Department under SSF is meant for Information warfare operations through multiple Departments

A thread about #Jammu with information about history of the region & #Dogra culture.
Staring with an old portrait of Maharaja Gulab Singh, founder of Dogra dynasty & ruler of undivided Jammu, Kashmir, Laddakh, Gilgit, Baltistan & other territories. Compare with present map 1/
Before his reign, Jammu & surrounding areas had numerous small kingdoms & principalities. They were fiercely independent & proved impossible to be conquered and ruled under one banner.
Gulab Singh was the first one to do so and became 1st Maharaja of the region. 2/
A stamp released in 1934 shows actual territories controlled by the dynasty.

There've been some new updates since this post was published, but those are relatively minor.

PLARF is a unique force which holds the world's largest arsenal of ballistic missiles (BMs) & employs nearly 1 lakh (100 thousand) personnel. It is a separate arm from PLA Army, Air Force and Navy which have their own separate arsenals of SRBMs, cruise missiles (CMs) & SLBMs
2/
There are 2200-2500 ballistic missiles in China, of which 80-110 are ICBMs. There are supposedly 300-320 nuclear warheads which are spread across these ICBMs, SLBMS, ALCMs and a small number of shorter ranged BMs. Nearly all newer BMs are solid fueled apart from older DF-4

Pakistan has managed to create a fairly good nuclear command structure and arsenal with help from China and US which ignored the illegal proliferation attempts and even helped the project in some ways. Although not as advanced and susceptible to internal security risks, 2/
it accounts for a huge portion of Pakistani defence spending.
Nuclear Command & Control consists of following organisations:
1. National Command Authority (NCA): Highest decision making command with 6 civilian ministers, 3 military and 1 intelligence as members.
