False claims and disinformation surrounding India's airstrike against Pakistan
In the age of social media, it's easy for misinformation to spread like wildfire. Recently, several videos claiming to show explosions resulting from Indian attacks on Pakistan have circulated online, causing alarm and confusion. However, a closer look reveals that these videos are not what they seem.
Firstly, a video showing an explosion in a night sky is not a Pakistani counterattack on India; it is an explosion from Tianjin, China in 2015. The incident, which left city structures completely destroyed and more than 100 dead, was widely reported by international media outlets such as CNN, BBC, and French daily 20 minutes.
Another video, attributed to a recent Indian attack on Pakistan, is actually a recording from Gaza in 2023. This misleading video has been circulating on the internet since 2020 and shows an explosion that occurred in Beirut's port, which left more than 200 dead on August 4, 2020.
Similarly, a video showing a missile attack has been attributed to a recent Indian attack on Pakistan, but it is actually a video recorded in Gaza in 2023. The Indian verifier of NDTV has denied that the social media recording has any relation to the recent Indian attack on Pakistan.
It's important to note that the source of the widespread lie claiming that Indian forces destroyed the Kishanganga Dam during the Indian offensive against Pakistan in May 2025 is misinformation spread by Pakistani state media and pro-Pakistani social media accounts.
In conclusion, it's crucial to verify the sources of information before sharing them, especially in times of conflict. Misinformation can cause unnecessary fear and tension, and it's our responsibility to ensure that we are spreading accurate information. Always double-check your sources, and let's work together to promote truth and understanding in our online communities.
