Google exposes authenticity of attack's video shared by Indian media

ISLAMABAD: The video of so called ‘cross border strike’, being played by Indian media is an attempt to make its people fool as it has been available on YouTube since September 23, 2016.   

According to the details, the footages had been taken by Pakistan Air Force aircraft and shared on YouTube three years ago. In fact, the video has nothing to do with the Indian claims.

It is pertinent to mention here that Indian aircraft in the wee hours of Tuesday intruded the Line of Control (LoC) near Muzaffarabad sector, however they scrambled back following timely response from the Pakistan Air Force (PAF).

Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Asif Ghafoor in a tweet said the Indian Air Force violated the LoC and the PAF’s prompt response compelled the Indian aircrafts to go back.

He said “facing timely and effective response from Pakistan Air Force, [Indian jets] released [their] payload in haste while escaping, which fell near Balakot.” However, no casualties or damage was reported, DG ISPR added.
