Pakistan-based accounts are spreading false and self-invented claims that 350–400 Indian soldiers lost their lives during the recent clash along the Line of Control (LoC). These allegations are completely baseless and fabricated. Official sources confirm that 5 soldiers died in Operation Sindoor, not hundreds.

This misleading narrative has also been circulated by accounts like @NAP1290, @vu85g773fhu7, and @Chaudhary_Views.
Truth: 5 soldiers died in Operation Sindoor, not hundreds.
As soon as the viral posts came to our attention, the D-Intent Data team began investigating. After reviewing official statements and credible media sources, we found that only five Indian soldiers were reported dead during the recent clash, known as Operation Sindoor. This figure was confirmed publicly by Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, Director General of Military Operations (DGMO), in a press briefing. The Indian Army has consistently maintained transparency regarding military casualties, making such exaggerated figures clearly false and baseless.
The viral claim about 350–400 Indian soldiers killed in LoC clashes is false and fabricated. Official sources confirm that 5 soldiers died in Operation Sindoor, not hundreds.
