The review examined a social-media claim that a fidayeen attack had occurred at an Army brigade in Rajouri.

Dieser vermutlich pro-pakistanische Kommentator behauptet, ein Kampfflugzeug der indischen Luftwaffe vom Typ Rafale aus französischer Produktion zu posten, das gestern Abend bei einem Angriff auf Pakistan in der Nähe von Bahawalpur abgeschossen worden sei und lobt die pakistanische Luftabwehr.
Publisher’s rating: DW Faktencheck: Falsch. Das Bild zeigt tatsächlich ein Flugzeug französischer Bauart - allerdings keine Rafale, sondern eine Mirage 5. Diese Kampfjets wurden für die pakistanische Luftwaffe umgerüstet, sodass sie mit Atomwaffen bestückt werden können. Bei dem im X-Post gezeigten Wrack handelt es sich nach Angaben von India TV, Dawn und The Economic Times um ein Flugzeug, das am 16. April auf einer Trainingsmission im südostpakistanischen Punjab in der Nähe von Multan abstürzte. Beide Piloten entkamen dem Unglück mithilfe des Schleudersitzes nur leicht verletzt. Die historische Region Punjab wurde Mitte des letzten Jahrhunderts geteilt, als nach der Unabhängigkeit des Subkontinents vom britischen Empire die modernen Staaten Indien, Pakistan und einige Jahrzehnte später Bangladesch entstanden. Daher gibt es eine Provinz in Pakistan und einen Bundesstaat in Indien, die beiden den Namen Punjab tragen.
