🔎 Fact Check | Ministry of Information & Broadcasting 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.

🔎 Fact Check | Ministry of Information & Broadcasting 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. 🗞️ Sources ◼️ NBC News – 2013 injury nbcnews.com/video/imran-khan… ◼️ NZ Herald – 2022 assassination attempt nzherald.co.nz/world/former-…

🔎 Fact Check | Ministry of Information & Broadcasting 🟠 Claim (circulated by Times Now, TV panels, and X accounts): Indian media shared a cropped clip of former AJ&K PM Chaudhry Anwar-ul-Haq, claiming he admitted Pakistan orchestrated the recent Red Fort/Delhi blast. Channels mistranslated his words to suggest he said India “could not count the dead bodies.” ✅ Reality / Counter-Points 🔶 Context of the clip The viral snippet comes from a much longer AJ&K Assembly speech. At the 17:00 mark, Anwar-ul-Haq was referring to earlier warnings about Indian involvement in Balochistan, not to the Delhi/Red Fort incident. ▪️ youtu.be/AxwBTC763FE?si=zLKT… ▪️ pid.ajk.gov.pk/2025/05/06/%D… 🔶 Actual wording ▪️ He said: “Pakistan Army ne aisa jawab diya ke India apnay tayyaray gin na paya.” ▪️ He was talking about India being unable to count its jets in a past military exchange. ▪️ Indian outlets replaced “jets” with “dead bodies,” a false and misleading translation. 🔶 No link to the Delhi/Red Fort blast ▪️ He did not claim or imply Pakistani involvement in the recent incident. His remarks referenced historical confrontations, not current events. 🔶 About the military reference ▪️ The comment relates to past Pakistan–India air confrontations and narratives of earlier operations, not to any terrorist activity inside India. 🔶 Selective editing & misinformation ▪️ Indian channels aired the cropped clip with mistranslated subtitles to create the impression of a confession. The substitution of a single word drastically altered the meaning. 🔶 Recurring pattern ▪️ The episode fits a broader pattern of clipped videos, mistranslations, and selective quoting used by some Indian media ecosystems to portray internal Indian incidents as Pakistan-linked. 🔶 Comparative rhetoric (often ignored by Indian outlets) ▪️ Senior Indian officials, including NSA Ajit Doval, have on multiple occasions made public remarks linking potential incidents in India to retaliatory actions in Balochistan, even referencing the use of proxies. youtube.com/shorts/L56muAbXF… ▪️ If Indian media treat political rhetoric by AJ&K leadership as “admissions,” then identical or more direct statements by Indian officials carry the same implication. ▪️ The selective outrage demonstrates narrative engineering, not factual reporting. 📊 Verdict ▪️ False and misleading: Anwar-ul-Haq made no admission about the Red Fort/Delhi blast. The viral clip is selectively edited and deliberately mistranslated; his comments referred to past India–Pakistan military engagements. 📢 Advisory ▪️ Verify full speeches before drawing conclusions from cropped clips. ▪️ Be cautious of mistranslations and sensational TV subtitles. ▪️ Avoid treating historical or political rhetoric as operational confessions. ▪️ Demand transparent sourcing from media before accepting major security-related claims

*OSINT BRIEF — DELHI BLAST FALSE-FLAG NARRATIVE* Title: Red Fort Blast — RDX Seizures, Rapid External Attribution, False-Flag Perception Date: 10 November 2025 Classification: Tactical OSINT / Media Brief *Topline* Days before the Delhi blast, Indian ATS and law enforcement reported multiple explosives seizures, with social media claiming aggregated totals up to 2,900 kg of RDX/IED material. On 10 November evening, a vehicle explosion occurred near Red Fort; the working cause is a CNG/gas-cylinder. Within 20 minutes, Indian media and partisan accounts blamed Pakistan. Afghan and IEA-linked channels amplified the narrative internationally, circulating fake posters and social media posts. Thousands of posts reinforced false attribution and shaped public perception of external involvement. The timing coincides with Bihar elections phase 2, suggesting a politically leveraged false-flag operation. *Timeline* Several days before the blast, ATS/police seizures in Faridabad, Gujarat, and other states were reported, with social accounts amplifying claims of up to 2,900 kg explosives. On the morning of the blast, Delhi was under heavy security and cordons, prompting citizen questions. In the evening, the Red Fort vehicle explosion occurred; working cause CNG/gas-cylinder. Within 20 minutes, Indian media and social accounts blamed Pakistan. Within the hour, Afghan and IEA-linked channels circulated fake posters and claims of responsibility. Following hours: narrative consolidated through extensive social media amplification. *Questions from Pakistan* How did such large quantities of explosives enter India? Why did Indian law enforcement fail to intercept these materials? Why was Pakistan blamed within minutes without forensic confirmation? Why was Delhi under heavy security earlier that day, and what was the purpose of cordons? Why did Indian and Afghan-linked accounts coordinate social media amplification and fake posters targeting Pakistan? *Media and Regional False-Narrative Amplification* Indian media and partisan social accounts initiated the narrative linking the blast to Pakistan immediately after the explosion. Afghan and IEA-linked channels amplified it internationally through fake posters and claims of responsibility. Social media bombardment dominated the topic, discrediting Pakistan. The campaign timing aligns with Bihar elections phase 2, suggesting a deliberate political motive to shape public perception before evidence could be confirmed. *Monitoring the Disinformation Campaign* Track timestamps of Indian and Afghan-linked posts to map amplification. Monitor trending hashtags and threads on X, Facebook, Telegram, and Reddit. Archive posters and screenshots to analyze narrative propagation. Observe cross-platform coordination to detect networks pushing the false-flag narrative. Verify discrepancies between claimed explosives, police statements, and actual events through public forums and citizen reports. *Next* The pattern indicates a false-flag attribution operation. Domestic explosives seizures were publicized. A separate blast occurred. Rapid Pakistan-blame narratives were amplified domestically and regionally. Claims of 2,900 kg explosives raise questions about law enforcement and border control failures. Rapid cross-platform amplification hardened public perception of external involvement before forensic confirmation. Timing with Bihar elections phase 2 suggests deliberate political exploitation of the narrative. *Brief Advisory* The Delhi Red Fort blast’s working finding is a CNG/gas-cylinder explosion. Reports linking the incident to Pakistan and associating it with RDX seizures (claimed up to 2,900 kg) remain unverified. Coordinated narrative amplification by Indian and Afghan-linked accounts, including fabricated posters and extensive social media activity, represents a false-flag attempt to misattribute the incident, particularly in the context of upcoming Bihar elections phase 2.

🔎 Fact Check | Ministry of Information & Broadcasting 🟠 *Claim* (Circulated on X and amplified by Indian media, Nov 2025) Indian outlets allege that Russia uncovered a Pakistani ISI spy network in Saint Petersburg, arresting a Russian national accused of smuggling Mi-8 helicopter and S-400 air-defence documents. The story portrays this as an ISI operation to steal Russian military technology and links it to India’s so-called Operation Sindoor. *✅ Reality / Verification (based on open-source and official record)* 1. Story appears only in Indian outlets — Economic Times, Firstpost, Republic World, and allied aggregator sites published near-identical stories citing anonymous “people familiar with the issue.” No primary Russian or international source supports these reports. 2. No Russian corroboration — Searches of leading Russian news agencies (TASS, RIA Novosti, Interfax, RT, Kommersant) show zero coverage of any ISI-linked spy arrest in St Petersburg. These outlets continue to report on other FSB operations, yet none reference Pakistan or the ISI. 3. Weak sourcing — None of the Indian reports cite an FSB/FSO statement, Russian court document, or official press release. The sole basis is anonymous claims and self-referencing aggregation, which fails verification standards. 4. Editorial fabrication — Mentions of Operation Sindoor and S-400 systems appear as contextual add-ons from Indian editors, not from Russian or international authorities. *📊 Verdict: Unverified / Coordinated Disinformation* No Russian authority or credible Russian-language source confirms the existence of an ISI spy ring. The claim is entirely based on an Indian media cluster, showing identical phrasing and anonymous sourcing — a clear pattern of coordinated narrative amplification against Pakistan’s ISI. *📢 Key Indicators of Fabrication* * Clustering of identical stories across Indian portals within 12–24 hours. * Absence of Russian primary sources despite active FSB and media briefings. * Anonymous “insider” sourcing and deliberate geopolitical framing. *⚠️ Advisory for Media & Public* The current reporting should be treated as unverified. Until confirmed by official Russian or international agencies, sharing or amplifying this story may spread false narratives and escalate geopolitical tensions. Treat reports of a Pakistani ISI spy ring in Russia as unverified. No Russian source confirms it. Avoid sharing until corroborated by official Russian or international authorities. *Sources Reviewed* * Economic Times: economictimes.indiatimes.com… * Firstpost: firstpost.com/world/russia-b… * Republic World: republicworld.com/defence/ru… * TASS: tass.com/society/1957623 — active Russian reporting on customs/security operations, no coverage of ISI spy ring
