◼️ Indian propaganda SMAs circulated false claims that Houthi missiles struck King Abdulaziz Air Base in Saudi Arabia, damaging three PAF JF-17 aircraft and prompting their evacuation.

◼️ This is absolute fake. No credible or official source has also reported any sort of damage to PAF JF-17s.

◼️ The deliberate fabrication of damage to PAF aircraft and their alleged evacuation is only blatant Indian propaganda part of Hindutva deceit and deceptive mindset.

◼️ In an interview to Aamaj News, Afghan Taliban Spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid’s has asserted that Pakistan's military is physically involved in Badakhshan’s violence. Nothing can be farther than this from the truth.

◼️ Pakistan categorically rejects the baseless allegation that its forces supported or accompanied armed opposition groups in Badakhshan. No credible evidence has been presented to substantiate this false narrative.

◼️ The violence in Badakhshan reflects Afghanistan’s own internal security and governance challenges, not Pakistani interference. Available independent reporting has documented the clashes as an armed struggle against non-inclusive and oppressive Afghan Taliban rule, without establishing any Pakistani involvement.

◼️ Pakistan has consistently supported a peaceful and stable Afghanistan and has no interest in destabilising its neighbour. The Taliban regime should address the growing challenges arising from their own governance failures instead of blaming Pakistan for Afghanistan’s internal problems. Assertions without evidence cannot substitute facts.

◼️ Times of India has falsely claimed reconstruction of the Subhanallah Mosque complex in Bahawalpur, with State financing of Rs 250 million, following its damage during India’s botched “Operation Sindoor.”

◼️Indian media lives in some delusional world where concocted stories are spewed every now and then, on behest of their political leadership, to desperately overcome the embarrassment faced through Pakistan’s befitting and just response during Mark e Haq; where innocent women, elderly and children were attacked in a dastardly and illegal operation.

◼️ The humiliation suffered during Sindoor following the comprehensive, jaw-dropping, just and memorable retribution from Pakistan, India is repeatedly attempting to retroactively reshape the narrative which cannot substitute for independently established facts.

◼️ The pattern is increasingly evident as also in India’s recent Sindoor documentary, which drew criticism for Bollywood-style reconstruction, selective editing and dramatized presentation rather than a transparent, independently verifiable account. The documentary and the recent media story are neither evidence-based nor supported by any real facts. Rather they are more like a belated narrative-building exercise.

◼️ The repeated recycling of allegations, unsupported intelligence claims and official messaging reflects an attempt to melt the minds of their internal audience through a chain of coordinated narratives in an attempt to offset their humiliating defeat.

◼️ The TOI report therefore fits a familiar state-sponsored terrorism narrative and India’s established playbook: selectively fabricate false pretences , present allegations as established facts, and then build a predetermined narrative around them.

◼️ This is narrative engineering through distraction, deflection and disinformation not fact-based journalism. Unverified claims should be scrutinised, not amplified.

FACT CHECK

◼️ BBC Urdu has published a report claiming that police in Pakistan-administered Kashmir stopped civilians carrying food, medicines and fuel and ordered them to destroy these supplies.

◼️ The report’s headline and central allegation rely entirely on the account of a single anonymous source (“Naveed”, a pseudonym). No video evidence, independent witnesses, official record, or third-party verification has been provided to substantiate this serious claim.

◼️ The report itself carries statements from police and district authorities rejecting the allegation and stating that supply vehicles are being facilitated, while disruptions are primarily linked to protest-related road blockades. (The official AJ&K police press release confirming the uninterrupted accessibility of the road is attached).

◼️In a press conference jointly addressed by Chief Secretary AJ&K and Inspector General of Police (IGP) AJ&K on 23 June, such claims were categorically refuted. The officials provided facts, stating that inconvenience on roads was caused by protestors of proscribed Action Committee who tried to stop and loot trucks laden with commodities arriving in AJ&K. The same were later secured and recovered by law enforcement agencies.

◼️This establishes the fact that routes remain open for all types of traffic. The link to complete press conference and subsequent news clippings are attached for reference.

Fact: The use of a single poor source of information by a reputable and old news service is both unfortunate and deplorable. The article does not provide evidence sufficient to support the headline allegation. The claim that police forced civilians to destroy food, medicines, or fuel is incorrect and being misused for purposes of narrativization.

◼️The Afghan Taliban regime through their various propaganda mouthpieces and official statements are claiming to have targeted some alleged ISKP camps in border areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan using rudimentary drones.

◼️ The claims are false as usual. Terrorist camps including that of Daesh and more than two dozen other terrorists organisations are factually located, run and patronised from inside the territories under control of Afghan Taliban regime.

To cover their patronisation of terror waged in neighbouring countries and region, including that from Daesh, FAK, FAH and others, the Taliban regime is used to issue such fake and nefarious statements.

*Fact*: One rudimentary drone of Tailban regime intruded inside Pakistan airspace near Shinko, Khyber. It was immediately identified and neutralised by the alert Air Defence system of Pakistan Air Force, picture attached.

🟠 Fake Claim:

Afghan Taliban accounts are peddling propaganda claiming Pakistan bombed civilian homes and caused civilian casualties.

◼️ Reality:

• In response to the attack on Frontier Constabulary post where six soldiers embraced Shahadat, Pakistan carried out intelligence-based precision strikes on 2 x terrorist camps in Afghanistan.

• The claim comes from Taliban accounts and spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid, habitual propagandists known for fabricating civilian casualty narratives.

• It is well known that Afghan Taliban and Fitna al Khwarij allow terrorists to co-locate families and other civilians with terrorist infrastructure as collateral insurance.

• Such narratives of collateral damage cannot prevent defensive measures by Pakistan which are aimed at eliminating safe heavens and logistic support to terrorists carrying out acts of terrorism in Pakistan for their nefarious agendas.

• Pakistan's targeting is precise and based on confirmed intelligence.

🟠 Claim:

FAK and PTM Propaganda Social Media accounts claim that in Hali Zai Nasapayi, Mohmand District, unidentified armed personnel (reported as FC) opened fire on local villagers after a misunderstanding involving three unknown individuals in civilian clothes. The claim alleges that tensions escalated during police–public negotiations and that security forces used force against civilians, resulting in a violent incident.

🟢 Reality:

The circulating narrative is fabricated and not supported by any evidence.

▪️ According to official accounts shared from the area, law enforcement agencies (CTD, police, and security forces) were conducting an intelligence-based operation in Hali Zai against an individual allegedly linked to militant facilitation.

▪️ During the operation, local resistance and obstruction were reported, leading to a law-and-order situation. Security forces later moved to disperse the crowd and restore control.

▪️ Claims of indiscriminate firing on civilians by FC are false and not confirmed by credible ground verification or official investigation findings.

▪️ Such incidents often generate conflicting versions on social media, where operational details are quickly politicized or misrepresented before formal inquiry reports are released.

📍 Conclusion:

The allegation of unprovoked firing by Security Forces on villagers remains unverified and inconclusive. The official narrative describes a security operation against suspected facilitators with subsequent resistance, while the circulating claim reflects a fabricated and disputed version of events.

✅ Reality:

◼️ The narrative emerged after cross-border firing from Afghan territory caused civilian casualties in Bajaur District including shahadat of nine innocent women and children, triggering strong local condemnation. Evidence recently made public by the Bajaur District Administration exposed the Afghan regime’s reckless and shameful actions after being repeatedly beaten on ground by Pakistan security forces in their failed infiltration attempts to push terrorists.

◼️ Images circulated with the Afghan claim show damage inconsistent with artillery impact (intact roofs, localized breakage), indicating manual or staged destruction.

◼️ The timing indicates a reactive propaganda effort following Pakistan’s release of irrefutable evidence and widespread public condemnation that embarrassed the Afghan regime.

◼️ The continuous propaganda around phantom strikes in Kunar by Afghan media and officials backed by the Indian propagandists indicate that;
(1) Afghan Taliban Regime, having nothing to offer to her citizens in terms of service, welfare and governance, only relies on misinformation and hate.
(2) The only thing they have learnt from their Indian propaganda masters is lies and false flag operations.
◼️ Such pathetic antics and vile accusations are absurd. It should however be clear that as part of Operation Ghazab Lil Haq, whenever and wherever Pakistan strikes the Afghan based terror infrastructure, it will be as per previous actions, well declared, fully owned and backed by precise evidence of targeting terror support infrastructure.

🟠 The so called spokesperson Hamdullah Fitrat has again come up with a set of lies. It is well established that Pakistan has only undertaken precise targeting of Fitna al Khwarij and Afghan Taliban terrorist infrastructure in Afghanistan.

🔸Precision air strikes, destruction and capture of posts, equipment numbers of members of Afghan Taliban Regime and Fitna al Khwarij, killed and injured are updated regularly with even clips of the strikes for all to see rather than some made up infographics by a habitual propagandist regime.

🔸Contrarily the whole world is witness to the terrorist attacks undertaken by Indian sponsored Afghan Taliban Regime and their sponsored terror proxies, such as the very recent cowardly attack in Domail, Bannu where 10 civilians including women and children were martyred.
🔸How Afghan nationals are continuously being used for terrorist activities in Pakistan, and related evidence has also been seen by all and available publicly including even today’s Balochistan Home Minister’s Conference of 5 April.
🔸Another hard fact is harbouring and protection of terrorist leadership inside Afghanistan and multiple UN / international reports confirming presence of dozens of terrorist proxies thriving under the patronage of Afghan Taliban Regime.

🔸Unfortunately but unashamedly, Mr Fitrat and other mouth pieces of Regime are well known to regularly post fake, old, even AI generated propaganda videos and assertions which only find patronization amongst their Indian masters and their propaganda machinery.
