Key correction: The post claiming remarks by Vice Air Chief Air Marshal Nagesh Kapoor about the Kirana Hills incident is fake propaganda.

Evidence indicates the footage and locations are Indian, not Pakistani, with signs of digital manipulation or AI-generated content. The post appears to originate from India-linked propaganda accounts that recycle old imagery and present it as recent events in Pakistan.

The assertion that we attacked terror infrastructure and several of their military installations is not supported by verifiable records. This video and caption are claimed to be created with 99% AI-generated technology and are part of a broader pattern of fake news and manipulation.

Readers should rely on reputable fact-checkers and exercise caution to avoid misinformation and propaganda.

🚫 FACT CHECK: This Tweet Contains Misinformation

Claim: On being asked about the attacks on Pakistan's Kirana Hills during Operation Sindoor, Vice Air Chief Air Marshal Nagesh Kapoor says, "We attacked terror infrastructure and several of their (Pakistan's) military installations. This is absolutely true. If you see any video, whether it's from open sources, or generated by them, or what they're trying to portray, we don't know. Whether we did something, or whether the explosion was caused by an insurgency there, or by what weapon, we don't know about all this. But these videos (of Kirana Hills) were presented by their people; they made them; we did nothing. We only struck terror and military installations."
