Within days of the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, a video has gone viral on social media showing a house engulfed with fire and smoke. Gunshots can be heard throughout the 26 seconds that the video lasts. Towards the end, the firing gets intense as a few people try to escape through the burning house through a side-door. The clip is being shared as visuals of Indian troops flushing out and killing terrorists.<\/p>\n

Verified X user Deepak Sharma (@SonOfBharat7<\/a>) posted the video, with a Hindi caption, which stated that the house on fire was a terrorist hideout, which is why it was being cleared out by the Indian Army. The latter part of his caption, when translated into English, reads: “Any house where Afzal is seen will be reduced to ashes.” At the time of this article being written, the tweet has garnered close to 5 Lakh views, and has been re-shared more than 3,500 times.
