Earlier, PIB posted on X, “YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA FEEDS ARE UNDER ATTACK.”

“Beware of suspicious videos related to #IndianArmedForces or the ongoing situation. These are key tools of malicious manipulation,” the post added. It further urged citizens not to fall for fake news and to refrain from spreading it.

The post further said that “the surge in fake videos flooding your social media feeds is NOT ACCIDENTAL. Pakistan’s propaganda network is manipulating you. Forwarding unverified or misleading content can do more harm than good.”

After the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced a ceasefire, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh exposed Pakistan’s misinformation campaign during a press briefing by the Ministry of Defence.

They exposed how Pakistan falsely claimed to destroy India’s BrahMos base and S-400 at a northern base with their JF-17. 

She further added, “The destruction of airfields at Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Bhuj, Nalia, etc., was also a false claim. The Forward Ammunition Depot at Chandigarh and Beas are also fit and fine, and we showed you in the photographs in the morning briefing today.”
