Pakistan floods social media with lies after Operation Sindoor

In the aftermath of India's precision strikes on terrorist infrastructure under Operation Sindoor, Pakistan has unleashed a frenzied disinformation campaign that seems more focused on winning social media battles than addressing the destruction of terror camps on its soil.

Multiple fabrications emerging from Pakistani sources have been exposed since India's strikes on Wednesday. According to sources including India's Press Information Bureau (PIB), while India targeted nine terrorist facilities with surgical precision, Pakistan's response has been to fabricate victories using recycled images and outlandish claims.

The crown jewel of Pakistan's digital deception was a video purportedly showing an attack on an Indian military base in Amritsar; fact-checkers quickly exposed it as footage of a wildfire from 2024. It seems Pakistan's propaganda department couldn't find current footage of their supposed "retaliatory strikes."
