UN head Antonio Guterres warned Monday that the world faced 'a nuclear danger not seen since the height of the Cold War' and was just 'one miscalculation away from nuclear annihilation.'

'Today, humanity is just one misunderstanding, one miscalculation away from nuclear annihilation,' he said, calling on nations to 'put humanity on a new path towards a world free of nuclear weapons.'
