Pakistan has a nuclear stockpile of between 130 and 140 nuclear warheads, according to a group of American scientists, whosetally is partially based on close scrutiny of satellite images and matches other recent estimates.

Pakistan could turn into the fifth largest nuclear weapons state in the world by 2025, a report by a top US think tank has said, highlighting the country's rapidly expanding nuclear arsenal. The report comes just a day after Islamabad acknowledged having developed "low-yield, tactical nuclear weapons" to deter an attack from India.

After nearly two decades of nuclear competition with Pakistan, India with the several long-range ballistic missiles in development is seemingly now paying attention to its future strategic relationship with China, a think-tank report has said.
