Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, several fake videos and pieces of information have been circulating on social media as part of Pakistan’s malicious disinformation campaign. An old video is being falsely shared as footage of a missile strike on New Delhi Airport. However, the truth is that the video in question has no connection with the current India-Pakistan situation.
PIB Fact Check, an arm of the PIB dedicated to busting fake news and misinformation related to the Government of India, conducted a fact-check on the video that is being falsely shared as footage of a missile attack on New Delhi Airport. PIB Fact Check found that it is an old video, totally unrelated to the current India–Pakistan situation.
