Pakistan has strongly rejected Indian media reports alleging the use of Shaheen missiles during Operation Bunyan-un-Marsus, branding the claims as baseless and misleading propaganda aimed at covering up the Indian military's recent operational failures.
According to a statement from the Foreign Office on Monday, the false narrative originated after a video was uploaded on the official social media handles of the Indian Army, allegedly showing Pakistan’s use of Shaheen missiles. The video was later quietly removed by the Indian Army when it found out that the claim was baseless, but by then, Indian media outlets had already spread the unverified claims widely.
"Pakistan categorically rejects the baseless allegations being circulated in Indian media. These are part of a deliberate attempt to divert attention from India’s failure in Operation Sindoor," the Foreign Office spokesperson said. "These fabricated tales are part of India’s efforts to promote a misleading narrative regarding the ceasefire and baseless allegations of so-called nuclear blackmailing on Pakistan."
No apology from Indian Army
Despite removing the controversial video, the Indian Army has not issued any clarification or apology. The Foreign Office criticized the silence from India’s military establishment and said this reflects a concerning trend of spreading "formation without accountability.
"The Indian Army’s failure to address the issue publicly, and the Indian media’s unprofessional conduct, pose a threat to regional stability," the spokesperson added. "It is also unfortunate that some Indian organizations continue to spread misinformation."
Pakistan used only conventional weapons
Addressing the allegations, the Foreign Office clarified that Pakistan had only demonstrated its conventional military capabilities in response to Indian provocations.
"Pakistan used Fateh missiles, drones, and artillery to target military installations in India and Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir in self-defense," the spokesperson said, adding that full details are available in the ISPR press release dated May 12.
The spokesperson reiterated that Pakistan remains committed to peace but will not hesitate to defend its sovereignty.
India accused of planning false flag operation
In a separate but related development, Indian intelligence agencies have reportedly hired the services of a former spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban.
A recent article published in India's The Sunday Guardian, attributed to former TTP spokesperson Ehsanullah Ehsan, falsely claimed Pakistan was preparing for two more attacks in held-Kashmir.
Security officials say the publication is allegedly funded and used by RAW, India’s external intelligence agency, to spread anti-Pakistan propaganda. In reality, India is once again preparing for a false flag operation in occupied Kashmir, the sources added.
"The article is nothing more than a testimony to India’s preparation for yet another false flag operation," security sources stated, warning of a new misinformation campaign targeting Pakistan.
They also pointed out that Indian intelligence agencies have a track record of using controversial figures like Ehsanullah Ehsan for disinformation campaigns. “Indian agencies routinely ghostwrite articles under his name to mislead the global audience,” one official revealed.
