Authorities have rejected claims circulating on social and media platforms alleging that Pakistan conducted cross-border strikes in Kunar Province, stating that no such military operation has taken place and describing the reports as unverified and lacking credible evidence.
The Claim
Circulating posts and accompanying visuals alleged that Pakistan carried out strikes across the border in Kunar Province, including assertions of damage to civilian infrastructure and educational facilities. Some of the content also attributed photographic evidence to the alleged incident.
Fact-Check
Authorities categorically denied these claims, stating that no military operation has been conducted by Pakistan in Kunar Province or any other cross-border area in connection with the allegations being circulated.
Officials further stated that the material being shared is based on unverified accounts and propaganda-driven narratives, and that no credible evidence has been presented to support the claims of strikes on civilian or educational infrastructure.
Image Verification
An image circulated alongside the current claims has been independently examined through reverse image analysis and found to be unrelated to any alleged strike. The photograph corresponds to damage from the February 20, 2026, earthquake, indicating misattribution in its recent use.
Verdict:
Authorities maintain that no cross-border strike has been conducted in Kunar Province and describe the circulating claims as unverified narratives lacking evidentiary support.
