Researchers warned that even a small-scale nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan might have catastrophic results, such as a world food shortage and large-scale fatalities.
Hypothetical study was conducted by the researchers at Rutgers University, United States (US).
According to the study, below 3% of the world’s nuclar reservoirs could cause death to one-third of the world’s population within 2 years if nuclar conflict emerges.
As per researchers, Pakistan and India have the possibility of the nucl*ar conflict as both the countries had four wars and still have usual border clashes.

However, the hypothetical study revealed that the food production would be gigantically decline and the numerous calories available from agriculture and fisheries would decline to 42%, resulting in a famine that would ultimately kill 2 billion people globally.
Whereas, approximately 5 billion people from all over the world would be targeted in a a nucl*ar war between US and China.
