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 Reposting outdated material as if it were current amounts to misinformation and appears aimed at creating confusion, spreading unrest, and diverting attention through false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 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 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.
