Explanation

Pakistan conducted a series of underground nuclear tests on May 28, 1998, at the Chagai Hills in Balochistan. These tests were a response to India's nuclear detonations earlier that month, making Pakistan the seventh nation globally and the first Muslim-majority country to possess nuclear weapons. The tests included five explosions on May 28, followed by a sixth test two days later at a nearby location. May 28 is commemorated annually in Pakistan as Youm-e-Takbeer, marked by patriotic events and celebrations.
