Claim:
Viral visuals on social media show that the Pakistan Army destroyed two Indian Army posts along the Line of Control (LoC) on the night of April 28–29, 2025.
Fact-Check:
False. The visuals being shared are old and unrelated to the recent ceasefire violations.
What’s Being Claimed?
Following reports of Pakistani ceasefire violations along the LoC—particularly in the Kupwara, Baramulla, and Akhnoor sectors—multiple social media posts began circulating with videos that allegedly show Indian Army posts being destroyed by the Pakistan Army.
These claims are accompanied by visuals of fire and explosions, with captions suggesting that Pakistan inflicted major damage on Indian forces amid ongoing tensions.
What We Found
- The Indian Army confirmed that there was unprovoked firing by Pakistan on the night of April 28–29, marking the fifth consecutive night of ceasefire violations.
- However, no official report or credible media source has confirmed the destruction of Indian Army posts.
- A reverse image search confirmed that the viral visuals being used to support these claims are not recent.
- The videos are old and have been previously circulated in different contexts, with no connection to the April 2025 ceasefire violations.
Official Statement
According to an official statement from the Indian Army:
“The Pakistan Army resorted to unprovoked firing of small arms across the Line of Control… The Indian Army responded in a measured and effective manner to the provocation.”
There was no mention of any Indian Army post being destroyed, contrary to what is being claimed in the viral videos.
Verdict: False
The claim that the Pakistan Army destroyed two Indian Army posts during the recent ceasefire violation is false. The viral visuals are old and unrelated to the current tensions. Always verify such visuals with official sources before sharing them.
