In what appears to be a major disinformation campaign, several major Indian media outlets are claiming to have damaged or destroyed the Port of Karachi and other Pakistani targets, airing video evidence that many have proven to be fabricated.
Throughout Thursday night, a multitude of Indian news channels with broad local audiences, such as Aaj Tak, India Today, Zee News, and Business Today, among others, broadcast various videos of the supposed attack.
After the reports on the destruction of the port emerged, social media users seemingly debunked the claims as fake news and expressed their anger towards Indian media outlets.
“We are becoming a global joke,” one social media user posted on X. “There are global observers watching closely and this is the show we put up?! Shameful.”
While many social media users from India are frustrated with India’s claims, others have employed a dose of irony when commenting on the faulty news reports.

Didn't India and Pakistan sign a ceasefire the other day? What gives?
Hardly the first time a ceasefire has collapsed in a conflict this year. In such tense situations I can imagine it's very easy for either or both sides to push their luck with the terms, and then when the other sees them doing it they respond, and now the ceasefire is dead in the water
This is from the 9th. Two days ago.
Oh that makes sense.
