Yes, but usually when people express concerns about the danger of nuclear missiles, they are only thinking of those nuclear missiles that are at the direction of nation-states or perhaps very resourceful terrorists. And their solutions will usually be directed in that direction, like arms control treaties. They aren't really including "and maybe a rogue AI will secretly build nuclear weapons on the moon and then launch them at us" in the conversation about the danger of nukes and the importance of international treaties, even though the nukes are doing the actual damage in that scenario. Most people would categorize that as sounding more like an AI-risk scenario.
