FACT CHECK: Did Pakistan Air Force hit Srinagar airbase after 'Operation Sindoor'?

In the wake of 'Operation Sindoor' by the Indian Air Force, which targetted nine terrorist hideouts located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, there have been many tall claims and rhetoric by Pakistan and its Army.

Several pro-Pakistan handles have been circulating a video claiming that Pakistan Air Force has targetted Srinagar airbase.

However, a PIB Fact Check has clarified that the video being circulated is old and not from India.

The video is from sectarian clashes that took place in the year 2024, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, PIB said in a X post.

It also asked people to depend only on official government of India sources for authentic information.

It is to be noted that in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025, Pakistan has launched a large-scale online disinformation campaign against India, particularly the Indian Armed Forces, in a bid to create confusion and undermine the morale of the forces and the people of the country.

Pakistan media reports have been claiming that it brought down three to five Indian Air Force (IAF) jets and a military post Dhundial sector of the Line of Control (LoC) and brought down a drone.

However, there has been no official confirmation from India regarding these claims.

Indian Air Force targetted Markaz Subhan Allah at Bahawalpur, Sarjal at Tehra Kalan, Markaz Abbas in Kotli, Syedna Bilal camp in Muzaffarabad, Markaz Taiba at Murdike, Markaz Ahle Hadith at Barnala, Shwawai Nalla camp at Muzaffarabad, Makaz Raheel Shahid in Kotli and Mehmoona Joya in Sialkot. All these are camps belonging to terror outfits Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen.
