India and Pakistan exchange nuclear information

India and Pakistan today exchanged lists of nuclear facilities as part of an accord which prohibits them from attacking each other’s nuclear installations.

India’s External Affairs Ministry said the lists were exchanged through diplomatic channels simultaneously at New Delhi and Islamabad.

The two countries have routinely exchanged lists every January 1 since 1992 under an agreement signed in 1988. They have fought three wars since their independence from Britain in 1947.
