Newsweek reported that thousands more would die within a month if they were within a two mile radius of the blast, because of exposure to the harmful chemicals in the bomb. <\/p>\n<p>And some 15% of survivors would die of cancer later in life. In total, injuries would number 868,860, Nukemap suggested.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31358559.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_Mushroom-Cloud-from-a-Nuclear-Test.jpg\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<figure data-mod=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31356890.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s458\/0_MAIN-hunt.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p> &apos;I was almost battered Somerset Gimp with my can of Monster \u2013 he needs therapy&apos;<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/@trinitymirrordigital\/chameleon-branding\/publications\/dailystar\/img\/logo-schema-dailystar.png\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The bomb would actually be even more deadly if launched on St Petersburg. It would kill an estimated 360,150 and injuring another 685,930, according to the simulation.<\/p>\n<p>Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy John Plumb said in a statement that the development of the new bomb &quot;is reflective of a changing security environment and growing threats from potential adversaries.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &quot;The United States has a responsibility to continue to assess and field the capabilities we need to credibly deter and, if necessary, respond to strategic attacks, and assure our allies.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>It comes as Russian President Vladimir Putin signed into law his country&apos;s withdrawal from the global treaty banning nuclear weapon tests, the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).<\/p>\n<p><b><i>To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters <\/i><\/b><b><i>here<\/i><\/b><b><i>.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Russia<\/li>\n<li>United States<\/li>\n<li>Missiles<\/li>\n<li>World War 3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/news\/world-news\/nuke-24-times-worse-hiroshima-31358334\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bookmark Never miss any of the fun stuff.
