New Delhi: In an attempt to revive a discredited narrative, Pakistan has once again turned to social media, circulating misleading and unverified satellite images to falsely claim strikes on Indian military facilities in Punjab, including areas around Amritsar, during Operation Sindoor. Pakistan handles are amplifying the claims that are not supported byany facts.
Independent verifications of locations shown in the images (Circulated by Pakistan handles) show no damage at the claimed sites. The Indian military facilities mentioned in the posts are intact, with no visible signs of explosions, structural damage, or other effects that would indicate a strike.
The sudden appearance of these images seven months after the conflict, without clear timestamps, satellite-source details, or independent confirmation, suggests an attempt to manufacture evidence rather than present genuine proof. This has raised serious questions about the timing of the disinformation effort. During the actual conflict in May, Pakistan was unable to produce any credible satellite imagery to support its claims.
This is not the first time that exaggerated claims have surfaced around the conflict. Pakistan has done this even during and soon after the operation. None were supported by independently verifiable evidence, and they failed to gain international credibility.
A geo intelligence expert, Damien Symon, had posted his analysis of these images on his X handle, pointing out selective framing and no signs of damage such as craters, debris patterns, burn marks, or collapsed structures.
In fact, comparative imagery directly contradicts the strike narrative of Pakistan with no observable changes visible.
Experts say that such tactics are often used to influence domestic opinion, make up for the absence of real success during the fighting, and create confusion among less informed audiences.
