A video showing a missile hitting a target is being shared online with the false claim that it shows Pakistani Strike on Afghan Post amid escalating tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The footage is being circulated as recent evidence of cross-border strikes. However, our verification confirms that this claim is completely false — the video is old and unrelated to current events.
A propaganda account named @zarrar_11PK posted the video on X, claiming:
Truth: Old Video from 2023 Misused to Spread False Narrative
As this claim gained traction across social media, it drew our attention. The D-Intent Data Team conducted a detailed frame by frame analysis and reverse image research. Our investigation led us to the verified @EuromaidanPress X account, which had posted the same video on January 23, 2023, during the Russia–Ukraine conflict.
This confirms that the viral clip is not recent and has no connection to Pakistan or Afghanistan. The video has simply been repurposed and miscaptioned to mislead viewers and fuel false narratives about current Pakistan–Afghanistan tensions.
