Pakistan retaliated with shelling and drones shortly after India carried out air strikes on nine terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on the intervening night of May 6 and 7, 2025. Since these strikes, named Operation Sindoor to honour the 26 victims of the April 22 terror attack in Kashmir&#8217;s Pahalgam, the two nations continued with combat. Meanwhile, scores of unverified visuals have emerged on social media showing damage to infrastructure and claims of casualties on both sides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/amnofc\/status\/1920417137853596134\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">X user Aman Sah<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (@amnofc) shared the video and wrote, &#8220;Four Pakistani Air Force personnel were killed in the Bhuj area during an operation of the Indian Air Force, in which two Pakistani fighter helicopters were also destroyed.&#8221; (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/JQXnX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Archive<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This video had garnered more than 1.7 million views at the time this article was written.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/hindi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/%E0%A4%85%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%A8-%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%B9--751x1024.jpg\" width=\"420\" height=\"573\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">X user <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SonOfBharat7\/status\/1920701209389744580\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deepak Sharma<\/span><\/a> (@SonOfBharat7)<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, who has shared misinformation in the past, shared the video with a similar claim.

The footage is unrelated to the India-Pakistan conflict and was available online for three years before Operation Sindoor was launched.
