In the aftermath of ‘Operation Sindoor’ conducted by the Indian Air Force, which targeted nine terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, there has been a wave of false information in social media.
Pro-Pakistani social media have been spreading misinformation claiming that Pakistani Air force has targeted and attacked the Srinagar airbase in India, which has been proven to be false.
Social media platforms, particularly X (formerly Twitter), saw a flood of posts from high-follower accounts aligned with Pakistan’s military media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
Many of these posts falsely claimed that Pakistan had launched missile strikes at 15 locations inside India or that the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) had successfully targeted the Srinagar Airbase or even destroyed an Indian Army Brigade headquarters.
Despite the lack of any credible evidence, these claims spread rapidly, amplified by Pakistani media outlets and social media influencers. This deliberate disinformation campaign has added to the confusion surrounding the aftermath of Operation Sindoor.
