India launched Operation Sindoor when it conducted airstrikes within Pakistan’s territory. Several pro-Pakistan social media platforms post images under false pretenses indicating Pakistan’s supposed counterattacks against Indian Operation Sindoor. This article contains factual verification of Pakistan’s declarations.
Fake News About Operation Sindoor
Indian forces launched Operation Sindoor targeting nine terrorist installations across Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir which serve as bases for attacks against India. After midnight the Indian Armed Forces started their “measured” and “non-escalatory” strike against terrorist facilities while avoiding Pakistani military sites.
Operation Sindoor began its operations following Pakistan-based terrorists’ brutal Pahalgam attack that killed 26 individuals. After the military action the Indian Army released social media statements about serving justice.
Faithful information spread across multiple social media platforms unveiled deliberate misinformation about Pakistani strikes on Indian sites. The current report verifies Pakistan’s false assertions alongside the misleading information appearing on digital platforms. Our platform contains ongoing updates about social media fake news debunking which you should visit regularly.
Pakistan forces did not engage Rafale aircraft.
Multiple Pakistan-supporting pages falsely told people that Rafale aircraft had been downed yet PIB confirmed this information is completely false.
Social media users must exercise caution when they see historic images distributed by pro-Pakistan entities during this current period. A photo of an aircraft that crashed in the past is being spread by pro-Pakistan accounts falsely asserting that Pakistan downed an Indian Rafale jet near Bahawalpur in the present Operation Sindoor,” PIB explained.
An original image released by PIB showed an aircraft that crashed in Moga district of Punjab during a previous event in 2021 with an IAF MiG-21 jet.
A picture of an IAF MiG-29 crash was originally captured in 2024.
A MiG-29 depiction spreads through social media while users declare Pakistan has downed it. Leaked crash photos of aircraft date back to 2024. According to PIB the image demonstrates a MiG-29 Indian Air Force fighter jet that crashed in Barmer Rajasthan during September 2024.
An old video shows the Srinagar Airbase getting attacked
Various Pakistan-watching accounts distribute outdated footage which they misleadingly link to Pakistan’s imagined response to Operation Sindoor from India. Analysis confirms that Pakistani military forces have not conducted any strike against the Srinagar Airbase.
The Pakistani users spread video clips showing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa sectarian clashes which took place during 2024 instead of reporting genuine current events.
Pakistan has not conducted any attack against the Indian Brigade Headquarters.
PIB officially exposed false stories published by multiple Pakistani social media accounts which claimed the Pakistan military conducted a strike against Indian Brigade Headquarters. This claim is entirely false.
The Pakistan Air Force has neither interfered with nor harmed two Indian aircraft.
Any post claiming the Pakistan Air Force shot down two Indian aircraft accompanied by these photos below is completely fictional. A one-year-old aerial accident scene in Rajasthan serves as the visual context currently being posted online.
FAKE social media accounts alert
Social media fact-checker Mohammed Zubair warns Indian users about fake Pakistani propaganda accounts which pretend to represent members of the Indian Army.
This video does not stem from Operation Sindoor.
A missile targeting video has circulated widely as an image from Operation Sindoor. A one-year-old video demonstrates Iranian missiles targeting Israel during their attack.
Multiple outdated visual content appears that does not connect to the original subject matter.
ARY News from Pakistan continues to publish outdated pictures of unrelated incidents as if these events just occurred recently according to Zubair on X during his investigation.
Fake images of aircraft wreckage circulate throughout social media platforms.
The remains shown in these photos stem from something other than an aircraft accident. A social media user posted that a drop tank from a plane contains debris in photos which lack additional airplane parts from an unidentified craft at a Pakistani crash site.
We challenge fake claims throughout this article while asking readers to avoid unverified content. As PIB has advised: For accurate updates about the situation state only to follow official sources from the Government of India which verify all information before publishing.
