As of now, nine countries are known to possess nuclear weapons: the United States, Russia, China, France, the United Kingdom, India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea. Among these, the first five are recognized as nuclear-armed states under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). India and Pakistan developed their nuclear arsenals outside the NPT framework, while Israel maintains a policy of ambiguity regarding its nuclear capabilities. North Korea has conducted multiple nuclear tests and claims to possess nuclear weapons, though the exact extent of its arsenal remains uncertain.
