🔎 Fact Check | Ministry of Information & Broadcasting ◼️The claim of so called Ministry of Defence / spokesperson of Taliban regime that Pakistan has violated the temporary pause, initiated itself by Pakistan in view of Eid ul Fitr, is frivolous. No violation of the temperory pause has taken place along western border by Pakistan and all such claims are absolutely false. ▪️Such propaganda may probably be initiated by detractors within Taliban regime, aimed at creating false pretext for some Afghan Taliban regime directed terrorism or other action. Irrespective of who has initiated the propaganda and false claims, it must be noted that Pakistan has already declared it clearly that any act of terrorism, cross border attack, drone attack etc by Afghan Taliban regime and its proxies will result into forthwith termination of the temporary pause and immediate resumption of Operation Ghazb Lil Haq with renewed intensity.

بریکنگ فیکٹ چیک/ وزارت اطلاعات و نشریات وزارت اطلاعات و نشریات پاکستان افغان طالبان رجیم کا ایک اور پروپیگنڈا سامنے لے آئی وزارت اطلاعات و نشریات کے فیکٹ چیک کے مطابق ; افغان سرکاری ہینڈل نے اس پوسٹ/ویڈیو کو کیوں ڈیلیٹ کیا؟ پہلی سرکاری پوسٹ جس میں دعویٰ کیا گیا تھا کہ "منشیات سے بحالی" کے سینٹر کو نقصان پہنچا ہے، اسے ڈیلیٹ کر دیا گیا ہے! ، فیکٹ چیک وزارت اطلاعات کیا یہ اے ائی سے تیار کیا گیا کوئی کلپ تھا جو حقائق کی جانچ پڑتال کی تاب نہ لاسکا؟ فیکٹ چیک وزارت اطلاعات افغان طالبان اپنی جھوٹی و منت گھڑت کہانیوں سے پیچھے ہٹ رہے ہیں، فیکٹ چیک وزارت اطلاعات

🔎 فیکٹ چیک | وزارت اطلاعات و نشریات ◼️ ٹویٹ میں افغان طالبان رجیم کی جانب سے جس امید ہسپتال پر حملے کا دعویٰ کیا جا رہا ہے، وہ دراصل کیمپ فینکس سے متعدد کلومیٹر کے فاصلے پر ہے، جو مسلح دہشت گردوں کے گولہ بارود اور سازوسامان کے ذخیرہ کرنے کی جگہ تھی اور جسے کل رات نشانہ بنایا گیا تھا۔ یہ بھی اچھی طرح سے دیکھا جا سکتا ہے کہ اصل ہسپتال ملٹری/دہشت گردی کے بنیادی ڈھانچے کے مقابلے میں کثیر المنزلہ عمارت ہے جس کی تصویر بھی منسلک ہے. دونوں میں فرق اور جھوٹا پراپیگینڈہ صاف واضح ہیں۔ ◼️ ایک اور اہم سوال یہ بھی ہے کہ منشیات کی بحالی کی مبینہ سہولت، فوجی کیمپ میں مہلک گولہ بارود ذخیرہ کرنے کی جگہ سے متصل کیوں واقع ہوگی؟ یہ معمہ بھی حل طلب ہے۔

🔎 Fact Check | Ministry of Information and Broadcasting The claim circulated by Afghan Taliban spokesperson using an old image to allege recent casualties is a clear case of deliberate disinformation aimed at misleading public perception. ◼️The image being presented as evidence of a recent incident is in fact from May 2023 and was originally shared by the Afghan Taliban Interior Ministry at that time, exposing the falsehood of the current claim. ◼️Recycling outdated visuals to support present-day allegations reflects a calculated attempt to fabricate a misleading narrative and create confusion regarding actual events. ◼️Such actions undermine credibility and highlight a pattern of information manipulation through misrepresentation of archival material as current evidence. ◼️The claim is therefore rejected as false and deceptive, intended to distort facts, mislead audiences, and serve propaganda objectives by projecting a fabricated version of events.

🔎 Fact Check | Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Why Afghan official handle has deleted this post / video? The first official post which claimed that some “ drug rehab” has been hit has been deleted ! Was this generated and AI clip that could not stand the multiple fact checks being made ? Afghan Taliban walking away from their manipulated post

🔎 Fact Check | Ministry of Information & Broadcasting ◼️ Omid Hospital being claimed to be hit by Afghan Taliban regime in the tweet is actually multiple kilometres away from Camp Phoenix, the military terrorist ammunition and equipment storage site precisely targeted last night. It can also be well seen that the actual hospital is multi storied structure as compared to the military / terrorist infrastructure actually targeted whose image is also attached; the difference and lie is clear to see. ◼️ Another important question also lingers, as to why would an alleged drug rehabilitation facility be co-located with lethal ammunition storage site in a military camp? This also remains unanswered.

🔎 Fact Check | Ministry of Information and Broadcastingl Above claim of this discredited so called spokesperson of Taliban regime is another misreporting of facts aimed at misleading public opinion. ◼️On night 16 March, Pakistan precisely targeted military installations and terrorist support infrastructure including technical equipment storage and ammunition storage of Afghan Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij in Kabul and Nangarhar that were being used against innocent Pakistani civilians. Post strike detonation of stored ammunition being used by Master Terror Proxy also fully contradicts the fake claim. ◼️Pakistan’s targeting is precise and carefully undertaken to ensure no collateral damage is inflicted. ◼️ This misreporting of facts as drug rehabilitation facility seeks to stir sentiments, covering illegitimate support to cross-border terrorism. ◼️The statement is rejected being false and misleading.

🔎 Fact Check | Ministry of Information & Broadcasting ◼️ The claim by so called Deputy Spokesperson of Afghan Taliban regime is yet again a poor attempt to cover up their own heinous targeting of civilian population along Pak-Afghan Border and to befool its own citizens reeling under a terror sponsoring regime. ◼️Today on 15th of March 2026 around 1530 hours, Afghan Taliban regime deliberately targeted civilian population in Tabesta Letai, Salarzai area of Bajaur District, in KPK province. Four innocent civilians have embraced shahadat while one five year old child is seriously injured in the attack. ◼️Targeting by Pakistan Armed Forces has been consistently and transparently communicated to public, as was also done with respect to this false allegation. On night 14/15 March, only terrorist hideouts, infrastructure and technical equipment of Master Terror Proxy Afghan Taliban regime was hit in Kandhar and visuals / clips of the said precision targeting have already been shared. ◼️Pakistan unlike Afghan Taliban regime doesn’t rely on old / fake / AI generated images and visuals. Repeated lies and fake communications by official Afghan Taliban regime channels are only discrediting them domestically and internationally. Truth Always prevails over falsehood

Fact Check | Ministry of Information & Broadcasting 🟠 Fake Claim: Afghan Taliban regime linked account X (Twitter) handle @IEAUrduOfficial circulated a fake video claiming it showed a strike in South Waziristan against Pakistani forces. ◼️ The video actually originates from Kurdistan, Iraq, but was falsely presented as footage from South Waziristan, Pakistan. ◼️ The same video had earlier been circulated by the Indian RAW related propaganda account @realBababanaras, showing direct connivance between Afghan Taliban regime and Indian fake propaganda machinery. ◼️ After online users exposed the misattribution of the footage, the misleading post was quietly deleted by the Taliban-affiliated account. ◼️ This episode demonstrates coordination between hostile propaganda networks, where unrelated foreign footage is repackaged and circulated to fabricate narratives about events along the Pakistan–Afghanistan border. Truth Always prevails over falsehood

🔎 Fact Check | Ministry of Information & Broadcasting 🟠 Claim (circulated by @MoDAfghanistan2): Afghan Taliban’s so-called Ministry of Defence has claimed a successful strike in Wana. ✅ Reality ◼️ The fact is that a rudimentary drone was destroyed over South Waziristan through soft kill measures. No military installation or infrastructure was hit. ◼️ The Taliban regime’s claim reflects their established pattern of pushing propaganda and fabricated claims, such as the recent false assertions about shooting down Pakistan Air Force aircraft and capturing pilots, hence cannot be relied upon. ◼️Picture/clip of the drone is attached below Truth always prevails over falsehood.

🔎 Fact Check | Ministry of Information & Broadcasting ◼️ This latest claim of the so called Ministry of Defence of Afghan Taliban Regime regarding capturing some post and made up damages etc is false as always, fabricated and designed to mislead Afghan internal public opinion, which are unfortunately first hand experiencing and suffering under these terror sponsors. ◼️Damages and losses incurred by Master Proxy Afghan Taliban and their extension Fitna Al Khawarij are being regularly updated by MOIB. Related video and pictorial evidence, where applicable, is also shared with media, rather than resorting to fake claims and propaganda. Great care is being exercised to provide credible and timely information about the ongoing targeted operations against terrorist and support infrastructure inside Afghan Taliban regime occupation area. ◼️Contrarily, beyond the amplification cycle of terrorists and Indian media / social media networks, there has been no credible and verifiable evidence of such repeated frivolous claims made by the Taliban outlets. These claims have in fact always fallen on their face once fact checked.

🔎 Fact Check | Ministry of Information & Broadcasting ✅ Reality ◼️Two rudimentary drones of terrorist FAK,nurtured by Afghan Taliban regime, were successfully intercepted by the Pakistan security forces using electronic counter measures. No military or other infrastructure was hit, other than minor damage due to debris of the forced crashing of drones. ◼️ The Taliban regime claim includes no verifiable evidence as always, however fully exposes its established role as Master Proxy of terrorism harbouring and supporting multiple terrorist organisations such as Indian proxies FAK and FAH. ◼️ Taliban regime official accounts including this so called Ministry of Defence account are known to regularly proliferate fake news and propaganda including recent frivolous claims of shooting down Pakistan AirForce aircraft and capturing of pilots which they unashamedly later deleted. Truth always triumphs over falsehood.

🔎 Fact Check | Ministry of Information & Broadcasting 🟠 Claim: Taliban Ministry of Defense (@MoDAfghanistan2) and TOLO News English claimed that Afghan Air Force conducted successful retaliatory drone/airstrikes this morning (13 March 2026) on strategic Pakistani military targets in Kohat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Targets allegedly included the Kohat military fortress, a war command center, fortress commander’s office, depots, and soldiers’ quarters, resulting in “heavy human and material losses.” x.com/MoDAfghanistan… x.com/TOLONewsEnglis… ✅ Reality ◼️ On 13 Mar 2026 Afghan Taliban backed FAK terrorists tried to use 3 x rudimentary drones in Kohat, however, drones were brought down by effective EW ctr measures by Pakistan Armed Forces. 2 civilians were injured by falling debris. ◼️ Initial analysis reveals that the objects are suspected to be off-the-shelf, observation type drones modified to carry some explosive. The Taliban later claimed responsibility. ◼️ Afghan MoD and other official spokespersons always share incorrect information and propaganda in the past as well. 📊 Verdict The Taliban Ministry of Defense and TOLO News claims are *fabricated* and designed to create a false narrative of military success boosting domestic morale and keeping Afghan population mis-informed. Pakistan’s law enforcement agencies continue to defend the motherland with professionalism and precision. The event and the follow up claims show that Afghan Taliban are actively involved in acts of terrorism in Pakistan.

🔎 Fact Check | Ministry of Information & Broadcasting 🟠 Claim: The X post by George Galloway (@georgegalloway) on 10 March 2026 quotes Info Monitor (@M_INFO313) with the explosive headline “ATTACK FROM PAKISTAN ON IRAN” and alleges that U.S. fighter jets carried out a strike on Iran’s Saravan Airport near the Pakistan border. George Galloway adds: “IF true this is utterly damning @GovtofPakistan”. The post includes a map highlighting Saravan and claims this marks the “second time” the US has targeted Iran’s eastern region. x.com/georgegalloway… ✅ Reality ◼️ The source @M_INFO313 (“Info Monitor”) is not credible. It is a documented troll account operating within a RAW-backed troll network tied to the Afghan TTA regime’s disinformation ecosystem. These handles routinely manufacture and amplify anti-Pakistan narratives. ◼️ The headline “ATTACK FROM PAKISTAN ON IRAN” is deliberately misleading. The post body itself admits the strike was carried out by U.S. fighter jets — a direct contradiction that exposes the intent to falsely implicate Pakistan. ◼️ Pakistan has strongly and repeatedly condemned the US-Israeli strikes on Iran and maintains warm diplomatic ties with Tehran. Allowing or facilitating any attack on Iranian soil would completely contradict Pakistan’s official policy and its role as a net stabiliser of regional security. ◼️ The actual strike on Saravan was launched from a US warship positioned in the Arabian Sea. No Pakistani airspace, territory, or facilities were used or required. Pakistan’s consistent position — diplomacy, restraint, and dialogue — remains unchanged and has frustrated elements that thrive on regional instability. ◼️ The disinformation followed a clear pattern: Indian RAW-aligned accounts first floated the baseless “Pakistan airspace” claim. When it failed to gain traction, Afghan propaganda handles coordinated to amplify the same false narrative in an attempt to drag Pakistan into a foreign conflict. ◼️ George Galloway, known for his PTI sympathies, amplified an unauthenticated troll account without any verification, undermining his own credibility on this issue. ◼️ There is No evidence — no official US/CENTCOM statement, no flight-tracking data, no satellite confirmation, and no reporting from credible international outlets — linking Pakistan to the incident. The attached map is a genuine public image of the Iran-Pakistan border region but proves nothing beyond basic geography. 📊 Verdict ◼️ The George Galloway / @M_INFO313 post alleging Pakistani involvement in a US strike on Iran’s Saravan Airport is completely false and deliberate disinformation. It relies on a known troll source, a contradictory headline, fabricated implications, and coordinated propaganda from RAW and Afghan networks — with zero corroboration. Pakistan stands strong. Facts over fiction.

🔎 Fact Check | Ministry of Information & Broadcasting Title: Fake News Spread by Anti-Pakistan Accounts Claiming “Saudi Arabia Has Suspended All Aid and Investments to Pakistan.” x.com/pakistan_untol… 🟠 The Claim: The account @pakistan_untold posted: Big: Saudi suspends all aid & investments to Pakistan with immediate effect. It says "Pak has no financial plan to execute what it promises. Our money comes from taxpayers. No freeloaders anymore" But Saudi Paijaan we have defense pact 😭 VC @Theunk5555 ✅ What Actually Happened ◼️ The video is an old clip from Geo News dated January 19, 2023, discussing a general shift in Saudi aid policy announced at the World Economic Forum in Davos. It has been manipulated and misrepresented as a recent "suspension" to spread misinformation. youtube.com/watch?v=2y81DK… “Pakistan’s economic ties with Saudi Arabia remain strong and are advancing through mutual cooperation, including recent agreements on alternative oil supply routes amid regional tensions.” ◼️ This false narrative originates from anti-Pakistan accounts with affiliations to Indian propaganda networks, aiming to create economic panic during a time of strengthening Pak-Saudi relations under the Strategic Mutual Defense Agreement. ◼️ Pakistan has secured positive responses from Saudi Arabia for economic support, including defense and energy pacts, and continues to focus on reforms that enhance self-reliance while maintaining historic brotherly ties. We condemn attempts to exploit regional dynamics for malicious purposes. pid.gov.pk/site/press_det… ❗️ Anti-state and enemy-backed accounts are spreading these lies to weaken Pakistan and distract from their own agendas. Pakistan's economy is bolstering, defending its sovereignty, and fostering alliances for peace and prosperity in the region. 📊 Final Verdict ◼️ The claim that Saudi Arabia has suspended all aid and investments to Pakistan is *100% false* and pure propaganda using a 3 years old video clip. Pakistan stands united in building a resilient economy, fighting misinformation firmly, and working for stability and growth in collaboration with our allies.
