Public Advised to Verify & Report Fake Content
Staff Reporter
After India’s retaliatory strikes, a seemingly nervous Pakistan has resorted to spreading fake news and misinformation in the digital space. It is fabricating stories of miraculous military victories which reflect Islamabad’s deliberate attempt to mislead the media, distort the global narrative, and manipulate public perception.
Desperate Pakistan has shared a video claiming a drone attack in Jalandhar on social media, which is an unrelated video of a farm fire. Laughably, it is also surfacing a video of an explosive attack that took place in Lebanon in 2020.
This is an attempt to claim that Pakistan has launched a missile attack on India in retaliation. One more false claim related to Ambala Airbase is surfacing online, where Islamabad notoriously claimed that the Indian military used Ambala Airbase to attack Amritsar and its own citizens.

The nervousness is so palpable that Pakistan is claiming that its missile has hit India’s air defence system by sharing an image of a fire at a military site in Moscow which took place in 2023 Another laughable attempt one can see is where an old video from Indonesia, is being shared to claim an attack on an Indian military colony. Similarly, an image is being circulated from the Ukraine-Russia conflict as Pakistan Army intercepting a UAV drone. All these show that a nervous Islamabad is trying hard to shift the focus from its nefarious design to protect terrorists and control the narrative with a barrage of lies and digital theatrics.
