Putin transports nukes to Belarus as allies rehearse strikes on the West

Russia has delivered nuclear munitions to field storage facilities in Belarus as part of huge military exercises amid escalating tensions with the West over Ukraine. The Kremlin confirmed on Thursday that the drills, taking place across Russia and Belarus, involve preparations linked to the Iskander-M tactical missile system, which is capable of carrying nuclear warheads. The three-day exercise, which began on Tuesday, comes as Moscow continues to portray the war in Ukraine as a confrontation with NATO and Western powers.
