An Indian astrologer has boldly declared the start date of World War III - predicting it could begin within days.
Kushal Kumar, known as the 'New Nostradamus,' has claimed World War III could begin on June 18, 2024.
Speaking to The Daily Star, Kumar said, 'Now, Tuesday, 18 June 2024 has the strongest planetary stimulus to trigger WW3 although 10 and 29 June may have a say as well.'
Kumar pointed to various international conflicts as signs of the impending global conflict.
Expressing concern, Kumar warned: 'It may be observed here that predictive alert for better care and appropriate strategy involves careful and serious interpretation of planetary impacts while unintended human error or slip cannot be ruled out entirely.'

'So, watch the developing war scenario in hotspots across the globe as days pass by,' he added.
Kumar originally made this prediction in May, and is doubling down - despite forecasting the wrong date previously.
He previously predicted June 10 as the war's start date, which did not occur, casting doubt on the accuracy of his predictions.
Despite the false prediction, Kumar now is confident that he sees June 18 as having the greatest potential for conflict initiation, while also mentioning June 29 as another possible date.

He said the starting date is sparked by significant planetary alignments that he believes could trigger a worldwide conflict.
Kumar uses the Vedic astrology chart to make his predictions, which is a system rooted in Hindu culture and is believed to be a 'map of our karma,' utilizing alignments of planets and stars.
He credited incidents like the terror attacks on the India-Pakistan border, North Korean soldiers crossing into South Korea, and rising tensions between Israel and Lebanon.
Kumar first mentioned a recent terror attack in the Himalayas that claimed the lives of nine Hindu pilgrims and left 33 others injured.
Next, he noted an incident at the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea.

Thirdly, Kumar highlighted escalating tensions in Israel, where Hezbollah forces in Lebanon launched rockets at Israel in response to the death of a commander.
He also drew attention to Russia's deployment of warships including a nuclear submarine to Havana, reminiscent of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Lastly, Kumar pointed out China's military exercises near Taiwan, which have raised concerns among US officials.
Kumar, often dubbed the 'new Nostradamus,' is named after the famous French astrologer who lived in the 16th century.
The real Nostradamus, born in December 1503, gained notoriety for his book 'Les Propheties,' a collection of 942 poetic quatrains.
These verses, published in two volumes, are regarded as prophecies filled with cryptic messages that call for diverse interpretations and future predictions.
