A new report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) says the global nuclear arsenal is growing, according to SIPRI

The report says that according to estimates, the number of nuclear warheads in the world has grown to 3,825, which is up from 3,720 last year.

SIPRI researchers note that in early 2021, however, the total number of nuclear warheads had reduced.

The institute estimates that the nine nuclear powers—the United States, Russia, UK, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea—had a total of 13,080 nuclear weapons in early 2021.
