Explanation

Pakistan successfully conducted its first nuclear tests on May 28, 1998, in the Chaghi district of Balochistan. These underground detonations, known as Chagai-I, were carried out in response to India's nuclear tests earlier that month. The tests involved advanced nuclear devices and were part of Project-706. A subsequent test, Chagai-II, took place on May 30, 1998, in the Kharan Desert. These tests had notable health impacts on the local population.
