Claim: Video shows PTI protesters confronting security forces in Peshawar amid emergency rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
◼️ Social media posts, including those circulated by Indian accounts such as @BhairavForce, have shared a video with the claim that it shows unarmed residents in Peshawar amid smoke and armored security vehicles during the current situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under emergency measures and Governor’s Rule. The claim is false and misleading. Verification indicates that the video is not from the present situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
◼️ Upon review, the footage was found to be old and related to a protest by Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) that took place in October 2025. The visible on-screen mark “©RSM” refers to Rizvi Sher Media, also known as the RSM Digital Network, which functions as an official media and digital broadcast platform associated with TLP.
◼️ The video has been recirculated out of context by online accounts to create a misleading impression of unrest and disorder in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Indian and Afghan social media accounts have been among those amplifying old and misleading footage over the past two days. Reposting outdated material as if it were current amounts to misinformation and appears aimed at creating confusion, spreading unrest, and diverting attention through false narratives.

Claim: @afarm0 Claims Pakistani Forces Abandoned Posts Along the Durand Line
Fact Check
■ A viral X post by @afarm0 claims that Pakistani forces have abandoned numerous posts along the Durand Line in Kandahar’s desert, Shorabak and Spin Boldak, following a clash in which four Pakistani soldiers were allegedly killed and a post destroyed.
■ The claim is false and misleading. The video being circulated as evidence is old and unrelated to the alleged recent clash.
■ The original video was uploaded around a year ago by Abdul Manan Danish, a Taliban-associated mouthpiece. facebook.com/reel/1996662791…
■ The footage is from Helmand, Afghanistan, and therefore cannot substantiate claims of recent Pakistani casualties, destroyed posts or abandonment of positions in Kandahar, Shorabak or Spin Boldak.
■ More importantly, the footage visibly shows Taliban personnel preparing an improvised explosive device using a canister/container, wiring and explosive material. Rather than showing Pakistani forces abandoning a post, the footage depicts the preparation of explosive material by militant elements.
■ The provenance of the footage and its original publication by a Taliban-associated mouthpiece raise serious questions regarding the presence and operational activity of terrorist elements on Afghan soil, including the continued operating space and alleged patronage available to groups such as the TTP.
■ Verdict: FALSE CLAIM. An old video from Helmand, originally uploaded around a year ago by a Taliban-associated account, is being falsely presented as evidence of a recent clash and alleged abandonment of Pakistani posts.
Claim: Taha Siddiqui Claims "In-Fighting" Among Pakistan's Top Military Command Over PTI
Fact Check
■ A viral X post by Paris-based journalist Taha Siddiqui claims there is "in-fighting" among Pakistan's senior military command over PTI, portraying Lt Gen Nauman Zakaria as part of a confrontation with Field Marshal Asim Munir.
■ The claim is false. No authenticated document, official communication, identifiable incident, or credible independent evidence has been presented to establish such a split.
■ Siddiqui is an exiled journalist and long-time critic of the military. He has previously circulated sensitive military-related claims based on unnamed sources, including a 2019 claim that F-16s were used against India.
■ Lt Gen Nauman Zakaria has served as Director General Military Operations, Chief of Logistics Staff and Commander I Corps. Nothing in the viral claim shows he is part of any confrontation over PTI.
■ The same narrative has also been circulated by Indian and Afghan social-media accounts, showing a common amplification pattern.
■ Verdict: FALSE CLAIM. No verifiable evidence has been presented to support the alleged military "in-fighting" over PTI.
Claim: Viral X Post Claims “Khariji Attack” on Military Intelligence Office in Peshawar
🔎 Fact Check
■ A post circulating on X, including content attributed to the account @warmonitorpak, claims that a Khariji/“Fitna al-Khawarij” attack took place at a Military Intelligence office in Peshawar.
■ The claim is false and fabricated. No such attack on a Military Intelligence office in Peshawar has been credibly reported.
■ The post provides no verifiable evidence, official statement, identifiable incident details, or credible news reporting to substantiate the alleged attack.
■ The claim appears to be part of an attempt to circulate false and misleading security-related information through social media.
■ There is no credible evidence supporting the alleged incident, while the account @warmonitorpak has circulated the fabricated claim.
■ Verdict: FALSE & FABRICATED. No credible evidence supports the claim that a Khariji attack occurred at a Military Intelligence office in Peshawar. The post should not be treated as a genuine security incident.
Claim: Viral Image of “Pakistan MFA Cable” Addressed to Israel’s Foreign Ministry
🔎 Fact Check
■ A viral image on X claims to show a “Most Confidential” Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs cable dated 17 May 2026 and addressed directly to Israel’s Foreign Ministry.
■ Pakistan has no diplomatic relations, embassy or formal government to government channel with Israel, making the alleged direct MFA cable highly implausible.
■ The document’s “TO/FROM/SUBJECT” format does not match typical classified diplomatic cable conventions and lacks credible routing, reference and precedence markings.
■ Its vague, generic language contains no identifiable operation, incident or official. AI analysis also assessed the text as 97% likely to be AI generated.
■ Neither Pakistan’s Foreign Office nor Israel’s Foreign Ministry has authenticated or acknowledged the document.
■ Verdict: FABRICATED & AI GENERATED. No credible evidence supports the cable’s authenticity. Its format, wording, 97% AI score and lack of official verification point to a fabricated document designed for viral circulation on X.

◾ The claim by the News Agency that Muhammad Aryan was a former Deputy Chief of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) is not correct. No officer by this name is listed among former Deputy Chiefs of Air Staff or senior PAF leadership.
◾ The attribution of remarks to an ex PAF Officer of this name regarding US-Iran negotiations and Israel’s role is hence incorrect. The quoted individual’s true identity and credentials require confirmation.
FACT CHECK
◼️Sharifzad's claim linking Kabul explosion to a Pak airstrike is unverified.
◼️ No evidence/ official confirmation supports PAF involvement. Preliminary indications suggest the blast was more likely caused by an IED or a factional/internal attack.

Title: Did the Afghan Taliban destroy the Pakistan-side border gate at Chaman?
🟠 Claim (spread by Afghan pro-Taliban accounts & Indian social media):
A video circulating online claims that Afghan Taliban fighters destroyed the Friendship Gate at the Chaman Border on the Pakistan side and also blew up Pakistani trucks. Afghan propaganda accounts and Indian platforms are presenting the footage as “evidence” of Taliban success.
✅ Reality / Official Counter-Facts
🔶 The video is artificially generated, not real footage
Independent visual analysis shows the clip is AI-generated, not authentic. Multiple elements inside the video expose it as fabricated propaganda.
🔶 Turkey’s flag appears in the video — Pakistan does not share a border with Turkey
◼ A clear Turkish flag is visible in the footage.
◼ Pakistan and Turkey do not share any land border, making the scene geographically impossible.
◼ If the video was real, why is there no Afghan flag anywhere on the alleged Afghan side?
🔶 The “Pakistani flag” is incorrect and shown mounted above the Turkish flag
◼ The flag shown as “Pakistan’s flag” has wrong dimensions and shading.
◼ Even more absurd, it appears mounted above the Turkish flag, which makes no geopolitical sense and exposes the video generator’s lack of knowledge.
🔶 A third flag appears from a 19th century African kingdom
◼ On the right side of the video is a red flag with a large white circle.
◼ Historically, this was the flag of the Yeke Kingdom in the 19th century, a region now part of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
◼ Accepting this as real would mean believing Pakistan shares a border with Congo, proving the video is fabricated.
🔶 The truck flag glitch exposes AI generation
◼ The truck displays a “Pakistani flag,” but at the 2-second mark, the flag vanishes or melts into the frame, a common AI rendering error.
◼ No real camera footage behaves this way.
🔶 The video is Taliban–aligned AI propaganda to conceal their failures
◼ The clip appears designed to boost morale after Taliban losses and Pakistan’s firm response at the border.
◼ Afghan pro-Taliban pages frequently rely on AI content to create false narratives of “victory.”
◼ Even Indian social media amplified the video uncritically, ignoring the blatant visual errors.
📊 Verdict
◼ The circulating footage is not from Chaman, not real, and not filmed in Pakistan.
◼ It is an AI-generated propaganda video created by pro-Taliban accounts and amplified by Indian networks.
◼ No gate on the Pakistan side of Chaman has been destroyed.
◼ Pakistan responded firmly and effectively to recent Afghan aggression — facts the propaganda attempts to hide.
◼ As per reliable information from official channels, Afghan Taliban have suffered heavy casualties of men, material and equipment while there has been no loss on Pakistan's side.
📢 Advisory
◼ Avoid sharing unverified videos from propaganda sources.
◼ AI-generated content is increasingly used by hostile networks to mislead viewers.
◼ Always verify through official Pakistani authorities and credible sources before accepting border-related claims.

Title: False BLF & Indian Media Claims About “Woman Suicide Bomber Killing Chinese Nationals at FC HQ, Chaghi”
🟠 Claim (circulated by BLF mouthpieces & Indian media):
Propaganda accounts of the banned terror outfit BLF, amplified by segments of Indian media, claimed that on 30 November 2025, a woman named Zareena carried out a suicide attack at Frontier Corps HQ, Chaghi, killing: 6 Pakistani personnel, and 2 Chinese nationals.
✅ Reality / Official Counter-Facts
🔶 The suicide attack was foiled in Nokundi
◼️ Law enforcement and FC units successfully thwarted the attack.
◼️ 6 BLF terrorists were neutralized before they could breach the central compound.
🔶 BLF attempted an assault on the FC HQ compound, but failed
◼️ Terrorists launched an attack targeting the central Frontier Corps headquarters.
◼️ The attack did not succeed; FC forces repelled all attackers.
🔶 No Chinese nationals were killed, claim is fabricated
◼️ There were no Chinese personnel present at FC HQ during the incident.
◼️ The Chinese Embassy, Government of Pakistan, and local authorities made no announcement regarding foreign casualties, because none occurred.
◼️ Claims of “Chinese deaths” are a deliberate BLF–Indian propaganda narrative.
🔶 False claim of “6 Pakistani soldiers martyred”
◼️ Contrary to BLF’s fake statements, no 6 soldiers were martyred.
◼️ Two Frontier Corps personnel embraced martyrdom during the counter-operation.
🔶 “Missing person” propaganda exposed
◼️ Among the attackers killed was Nabeel Ahmed, for whom BYC had been holding protests claiming he was a “missing person.”
◼️ He was discovered inside a BLF camp and actively involved in the assault, proving the “missing by state” narrative to be false.
🔶 Indian media amplified a banned outfit’s fabricated narrative
◼️ As seen repeatedly, certain Indian media outlets promoted BLF’s false claims without verification.
◼️ These outlets ignored official reports and attempted to internationalize the event through fake Chinese casualty claims.
📊 Verdict
◼️ The BLF claim is false, misleading, and based on propaganda.
◼️ No Chinese nationals were killed.
◼️ Two FC soldiers were martyred, not six.
◼️ 6 terrorists were neutralized and the attack was successfully foiled.
◼️ Indian media again amplified banned outfit disinformation without verification.
◼️ BYC’s “missing person” narrative stands exposed.
📢 Advisory
◼️ Treat claims from banned terror outfits with extreme caution.
◼️ Verify facts through official Pakistani authorities before sharing.
◼️ Do not rely on foreign media narratives that repeat militant propaganda.

Title: False claims on Afghan & Indian social media alleging that Imran Khan has been “killed in jail by ISI”
🟠 Claim:
Anonymous Afghan accounts circulated an unverified rumour that Imran Khan was killed in custody and his body moved. Indian outlets repeated the rumour using two old photos from 2013 and 2022 as “fresh evidence.”
✅ Reality / Counter-Arguments
🔶 How the rumour started
◼️ The disinformation originated from two Afghan propaganda handles known for fabrications.
◼️ Their posts appeared only 46 minutes apart, a clear indication of a coordinated attempt rather than independent reporting.
◼️ Both accounts falsely claimed a “Pakistani source” confirmed the death but provided no documentation, proof, or institutional verification.
Sources: xitter.cf/BaluchistanMFA | xitter.cf/TimesAFg1
🔶 Recycling an old 2013 injury photo
◼️ The first image used to support the rumour is actually from 2013, when Imran Khan fell from a forklift stage during an election rally.
◼️ Afghan and Indian networks repurposed this 12-year-old image to imply a recent incident inside jail.
◼️ At 12:06 PM PST, Republic TV aired a false claim of “PTI supporters storming Adiala Jail.”
Within hours, the channel began running the Afghan-origin death rumour without verification.
◼️ Indian outlets started posting about the claim after 3 PM PST, all relying only on the same two Afghan accounts.
🔶 Second photo also manipulated
◼️ The second image is from 4 November 2022, the assassination attempt in Wazirabad that caused leg injuries.
◼️ This photo predates Imran Khan’s imprisonment and has zero connection to jail or custody.
🔶 Indian media amplified an unverified rumour
◼️ Despite PTI representatives telling Indian channels that no such information existed, the rumour was aired repeatedly.
◼️ No journalist, official, hospital, or government agency confirmed any abnormal development.
🔶 Indian outlets admitted it was Afghan-origin
◼️ Some Indian channels openly acknowledged that the rumour began on Afghan accounts, yet still treated it as a “possible developing story,” which added unnecessary confusion.
Reference: republicworld.com/world-news…
🔶 Visitation rules misrepresented
◼️ Indian media portrayed the routine, court-ordered family visitation schedule as “suspicious.”
◼️ In reality, jail meetings follow judicial guidelines, not intelligence or law enforcement discretion.
🔶 Purpose of the disinformation
◼️ The timing, coordination, and rapid cross-border amplification suggest a deliberate attempt to create unrest within Pakistan.
◼️ The rumour was designed to provoke agitation, fuel anti-state narratives, and manufacture a false sense of instability.
📊 Verdict
◼️ The rumour about Imran Khan being killed in custody is completely false.
◼️ Both circulated photos are old and irrelevant.
◼️ The false narrative originated from Afghan propaganda accounts and was spread by Indian media without verification.
◼️ No credible authority has reported any such incident.
📢 Advisory
◼️ Always verify context before accepting viral claims.
◼️ Treat sensational posts from anonymous foreign handles with caution.
◼️ Be alert to old photographs being recycled as “proof.”
◼️ Demand transparent sourcing for all security-related claims.
