Amid growing cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan, a torrent of misinformation has flooded social media platforms. Mislabeled videos to recycled images, misleading claims, and fake public advisories, a lot is happening on Facebook and X, leaving millions in a state of anxiousness over what to believe and what not to believe.
One such video, claiming Pakistan’s recent missile firings towards the Indian territories, is now circulating on the internet.
An X user, Ankur Singh, shared the video on Saturday, May 10, strongly claiming, “Pakistanis are recording video while firing missiles at India. Recording their last moments?”
While the video actually appeared to be from a missile attack, an unconvinced user felt the need to verify it and asked Grok, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, to check the facts. Only then was it revealed that the video was actually from 2019, captured during the Pakistan Nasr missile test. “While India-Pakistan tensions are real, with missile exchanges in May 2025, this video is misinformation and unrelated to current events,” the chatbot further added.
Many other users also took to the comments and expressed their disbelief over the authenticity of the video. One wrote, “Looks like a video out of Lebanon or Yemen—same chants. Same spirit.”
The comments were also filled with sarcastic digs at the Pakistani army, with some hilariously mocking the neighbouring country. The video is among the many pieces of doctored content and old war footage that have sparked a full-blown digital misinformation offensive. These falsehoods are being churned out not just to confuse but also to cover up Pakistan’s own escalations.

Many such videos and pictures have been clarified by PIB Fact Check. One of the images claimed multiple explosions at the Jammu Air Base, only for PIB to clarify the image was from the Kabul Airport bombing in August 2021.
In the wake of countless unverified videos and images on the internet, the Indian government has issued an advisory, asking civilians to only rely on official sources and not share unconfirmed information.
