Original review summary

FACTLY found that the viral videos predated the 22 April 2025 Pahalgam attack and were therefore unrelated to the subsequent India-Pakistan tensions. It reported that one video had been shared on 17 April 2025 and another on 4 May 2024; the review said it could not independently verify the videos’ locations or contexts. [S1][S1]
