The viral video shows a recent incident where a passenger plane was shot down by the Pakistan Air Force, killing around 100 people.
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
The video shows the May 2020 crash of Pakistan International Airlines flight PK8303 near Karachi, not a recent military shootdown. The investigation report released in 2024 attributed the crash to human error, including poor coordination between the pilots and air traffic control.

The video shows the zipline operator present during the Pahalgam terror attack being thrashed by NIA officials.
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

US President Donald Trump is publicly supporting India’s actions against Pakistan following the Pahalgam attack.
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING
The circulated video is fake: it overlays AI-generated audio on unrelated footage of Trump speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast on 7 February 2019. Trump condemned the Pahalgam attack and supported India’s fight against terrorism, but also called both India and Pakistan his friends and hoped they would resolve the Kashmir issue peacefully.

The videos show Army personnel carrying the bodies of militants involved in the 22 April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack.
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING
The review found that the videos predate the Pahalgam attack: one was online by 2018 and the other by 2020, so neither shows bodies from the 2025 incident. It also reports that, as of 30 April 2025, there were no reports confirming that all militants involved in the attack had been killed.
