Amid rising India–Pakistan border tensions, misinformation is spreading like wildfire. A viral video claiming a missile strike on Delhi Airport has been debunked by the PIB Fact Check unit.

What’s the Truth?

The video is not from Delhi but actually shows a gas station explosion in Aden, Yemen from August 2024. PIB confirmed that the clip has no link to current India–Pakistan developments.

“Old video falsely shared as missile attack footage. It’s from Yemen, not Delhi,” PIB Fact Check clarified on X.
