A video showing a massive blast is going viral to claim that it shows a recent attack where the Pakistani army targeted India.
How did we find out the truth?: We performed a reverse image search on some of the keyframes of the viral video using Google and this led us to a report shared by NDTV on 20 March 2022.
The report carried a screengrab from the same viral video and it stated that a massive explosion was witnessed in Sialkot, Pakistan.
It added that multiple explosions at the Sialkot military base in northern Pakistan were heard.
Taking a cue, we performed a keyword search on Google and then found more reports about this incident.
Hindustan Times, Times of India and Pakistan Today also carried the same video and the screenshots from video.
It states that according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), an accidental fire caused by short-circuit triggered a series of explosion at a military depot in Sialkot Garrison, Pakistan's Punjab province.
Conclusion: An old video of a massive blast in Pakistan is being falsely shared as a recent video.
