India’s missile and bomb strikes on targets in Pakistan and Pakistani-controlled Kashmir have sharply escalated tensions between the two nuclear-armed states, with Islamabad denouncing the move as an “act of war”.

The Soufan Center warned that the online space has been “flooded with disinformation, false claims, and manipulated photos and videos,” further clouding the truth.
It said the information war is being driven by both sides’ “commitment to save face” amid heightened nationalistic rhetoric.
While independent verification remains elusive due to active fighting, fragments of the broader picture are emerging from official statements and satellite data.
