The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has fact-checked and debunked a false report by China Daily that claimed at least three Indian jets had crashed in Kashmir. The PIB clarified that the image used in the article was from a 2019 incident and not related to any recent event. The image originally appeared in a March 10, 2019, Al Jazeera report covering post-Pulwama tensions between India and Pakistan. PIB called the claim part of a “coordinated propaganda campaign” designed to create panic and mislead the public. In a tweet, PIB Fact Check confirmed the misinformation and warned against sharing unverified reports, especially during times of heightened sensitivity.
