New Delhi, May 7: In the wake of Operation Sindoor, several fake videos claiming to show strikes on Indian security establishments have been widely circulated by pro-Pakistan social media handles. The Ministry of Defence has strongly refuted these claims, stating that the videos are neither recent nor related to India.
According to the Ministry, the footage being circulated is from sectarian clashes that occurred in 2024 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, and is being misrepresented to create misinformation and panic.
The government has issued a stern warning, urging citizens to refrain from sharing unverified content and to rely solely on official sources for accurate updates. Authorities are also closely monitoring social media platforms for the spread of such disinformation.
This incident underscores the growing challenge of fake news during sensitive operations, and the importance of media literacy and responsible information-sharing.
