The recent military strikes between India and Pakistan have sparked a fierce battle over information and narratives. Both nations are publishing contrasting claims about the outcomes and justifications for their actions, complicating independent verification of the truth. India asserts that its strikes targeted terrorist infrastructure in response to a deadly attack, while Pakistan counters with claims of civilian casualties and destruction. Each country is utilizing social media to amplify their respective narratives, reflecting a long history of competing accounts that often obscure the reality of military encounters.
Within hours of the Indian strikes, authorities on both sides put out claims and counterclaims that have been amplified on social media as each country tries to control the narrative in its favour.
India said its forces hit terrorist infrastructure at nine sites in response to last month's deadly shooting attack in Pahalgam in India-administered Kashmir.
