The claim
The video shows Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi admitting to losing over 250 soldiers in a conflict with Pakistan during Operation Sindoor.
Original review summary
The review says the viral clip was edited: the statement about more than 250 soldiers being killed and Pakistan using Chinese satellites was digitally added, not part of General Dwivedi’s speech. It reports that the original speech discussed Operation Sindoor but did not mention such losses.[S1]
Additional context
Dwivedi delivered the speech on 26 July 2025 at the Kargil Vijay Diwas celebrations in Dras. PIB Fact Check issued a clarification on 29 July 2025, describing the circulating video as manipulated. [S1]
