New Delhi: For Pakistan, it seems, a day without humiliation and embarrassment is a day wasted. The latest embarrassment for Pakistan took place on Thursday when claims of damage to Indian military installation during last year’s Operation Sindoor was busted by experts.
Continuing Pakistan’s trend of using lies and morphed images to peddle its propaganda, multiple pro-Pakistani accounts on social media on Thursday shared misleading ‘before and after’ images of alleged missile strikes at the Amritsar airbase in Punjab and a BrahMos facility in Beas during the conflict in May last year. However, the latest attempt by Pakistan to peddle its misleading propaganda was busted when independent experts used widely available satellite imagery, which shows intact structures and routine maintenance work at the concerned sites.
Thursday’s incident has exposed a familiar narrative which is being consistently pushed by Pakistan since being hammered by India during Operation Sindoor in May last year. The military action by India destroyed nine terrorist camps while 11 vital military airbases were bombed. India has followed up its claims of hitting targets inside Pakistan by releasing before and after satellite images of the concerned sites.
The pro-Pakistani social media accounts claimed on Thursday that strikes by the medium-range Fatah missiles destroyed hangars at the Amritsar Air Force Station and a storage site of the BrahMos missiles in the Beas region.
However, geo-intelligence expert Damien Symon has busted the Pakistani propaganda by revealing that no such signs of destruction was visible at the sites, adding that pre-construction images were being peddled off as signs of destruction.
"Dumbest disinformation attempt ever. A 'before' image taken on May 15, 2025, (4 days after the India-Pakistan conflict ended) from a munition site in Beas, Punjab, India, is compared to an image from November 2025 to show damage by alleged Pakistani strikes in India," Symon said in a tweet, which was accompanied by Google Earth satellite imagery.
A host of social media users used the faux pas to hurl insults at Pakistan.
"It is hilarious to see that Pakistani fanboys tried to pass ongoing works for disruptive camo patterns on rooftops to counter drone strikes as missile attack damages," one user tweeted.
An Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) expert posted, "No blast marks are visible. Pakistanis are still desperate in 2026. No one from Pakistan was able to provide satellite imagery in 2025, so pre-construction images are now being shown as destruction."
Yusuf Unjhawala, a defence expert, remarked, "It's funny that in India, when new information is put out, people say what's the use now, we lost the narrative. Pakistanis, meanwhile, are still trying to find straws to clutch to."
