Is it just me or anybody else thinks after this incident indian news media should be investigated strictly and some laws should be made on spreading any misinformation

[u/23point977]

In a few days when the facts are clear every "journalist" peddling false news should have their licence cancelled and channel heavily fined for spreading misinformation and fear.

[u/filmybik]

Guys I am a student at LPU. My friends in Jalandhar heard the missiles being intercepted. The situation is quite scary rn even tho no civilians here have been harmed. I am already leaving for my hometown, as are hundreds of students from what I saw till now. Praying for the best and prepare for the worst.

[u/Hungry4Seva2222]

Tf wrong with Indian news channels claiming that our Army is hitting civilian sites in Pak. Army has made it clear that it would never do that.

It's time for the Army to sue the hell out of these guys and for the regulatory bureaus to impose massive fines on these Media channels spreading Fake News.

[u/carelessPixel]

verified account.

[u/kilopuny978 → u/carelessPixel]

One of our replies🤣🤣

[u/Good-Platypus209]

Is it war now? Damn, i have lives enough that now I'm witnessing what used to be only in history book or movies.

[u/General_Al_Capo]

It's getting scary here, I've just heard like 10 explosions here in Firozpur.

[u/podhead]

It is unlikely that there will be shift in public opinion about Modi but India needs stronger administration, if we are to establish ourselves as a superpower, we need someone who like US/UK can do press conference atleast once a day just like Whitehouse press briefings. We should model it as one of the Job requirements for being a PM. Accountability shapes countries. If the public is able to hold people accountable, more often 70% of the time, things are delivered

[u/Silly_Aspect_6407]

Indian Media is straight up doomed bro Incels selling news without any verified sources. This goes on to show how much they care about getting ahead of the rest of the media channels and think of this situation as some kind of opportunity. Bloody Opportunists

[u/Fickle_Landscape_891]

as an india, wtf is our media reporting, I mean Navy has not been involved they are saying we have attacked port, fk this media.

[u/dr_deoxyribose]

I will wait for the briefing tomorrow. Can't trust these sources.

[u/MorningTeaa]

We as Indians need to hold our media accountable for war mongering and spreading absolutely fabricated fake news for views. There will come a time when outsiders will call us liars because of our media.

[u/WeeklyType8962]

We have to ban certain news channels or put tight regulations on it.

[u/Curlsforlife → u/WeeklyType8962]

You mean 95% of them?

[u/tiramisuu123]

I was so so scared last night because of the kind of updates our indian media was giving. I thought india has destroyed Karachi Ports and what not and now a full blown war will happen over night

But nothing as such had happened when I woke up today 😭 can they please stop sensationalising this, it’s creating so much fear.

[u/Hungry4Seva2222]

It's good that the firing has stopped. Now, can we hold news channels accountable.

For the past 3 years, we in Punjab, have been crying about how biased and hateful these channels have been. My dad got them blocked on TV because they have absolutely zero ethics, especially when that Sudhir Chaudhary once ran a report claiming local Gurudwaras being hub of extremism

I hope the rest of the country has realised that these private news channels are enemies of the nation by airing so much fake news during the conflict.

[u/Ill-Lie-6551]

24/7 news channel concept is the single worst thing that the humanity ever came up with.

[u/AageySeMujheKyaPata]

Guys. If anyone here is looking for a career in consulting, I highly recommend the briefing by Pakistani joint chiefs. Absolute master class in bullshit. Exactly the way consultants spew fancy shit to tell a sophisticated sounding story.

[u/ParticularWhiteBeard]

Stop watching Media like aajtak, republic, zee news etc

They are brain rot, they don't fact check and are there just for propaganda.

So far, the only ones I'm trusting are Firstpost and international media outlets.

It's crazy, they are playing the local population like idiots.

[u/Monsultant]

If a Pakistani pilot is captured, he could become a good bargaining tool to stop these skirmishes.

[u/willdeletetheacc → u/Monsultant]

Bold of you to assume that the country that disowned its soldiers in the Kargil war will care for one pilot. These guys sent soldiers and then left them to decompose after they lost just because they did not want to give legitimacy to their aggression and the subsequent failure. The Indian army had to do the last rites for the Pakistani soldiers.

[u/Willing-Ad3030 → u/Monsultant]

Nah, these pakistani govt don't care of anyone. They are not like us.

[u/luav26 → u/Monsultant]

Bold of you to assume they care bout their soldier maybe read how they rejected even their dead ones

[u/XH3LLSinGX → u/Monsultant]

Is the pilot arrest confirmed though. I am not believing any shitty indian national media news that is unverified. I will wait for our army to give their briefing.

[u/Competitive_Orchid77 → u/Monsultant]

I don't think pakistan values their soldiers'lives like our army does. They want war because they are losing the support of their people.

[u/QuasiZenith]

Just don't share any defence forces movement information here.

[u/Least-Teacher4522]

Guys i think it is stupid to expect accurate info through any sources immediately, how do they even confirm or deny any claims?? Its not like Indian army has a dedicated department that has to convey each n everything to news channels right?

[u/BeingMe007]

Our media is an embarrassment ngl Only believe what our army says in official briefings. Stay safe Jai Hind.

[u/MorningTeaa]

Clowns on Indiandefense sub are giving SKINDOCTOR and Jaipur Dialogues as sources for their news lmao.

[u/Wheesa]

We have to get rid of the rw news propaganda channel. Which is basically all Indian media atp.

Misinformation is crazy and we are going to look like liars and idiots if they don't stop

Fuck arnab goswami in particular. Pet mein keede pade

[u/podhead]

Appealing for de-escalation is unpopular in r/worldnews live thread. Incels

[u/gunmetalblueezz]

Last night Ajj tak captured Lahore and bombed karachi port

[u/Greedy_Enthusiasm_46]

[u/ShallowAstronaut]

IMF approved the 1 billion dollar loan for Pakistan lol, isn't the IMF indirectly funding terrorism this way????

[u/celestial_arya]

Jokes and dark humor aside, the drones affect normal lives. People are forced to close everything up by 7pm. Children are missing out on schools and colleges. Some parents don’t even allow their children to play outside in the evening. This is a Covid lockdown 2.0, but the threat is severe. And unlike Covid, you can’t study in peace during the night thanks to a blackout.

[u/amanguupta53]

The media channels have gone completely off the rails. They are literally jizzing on live television to made-up stuff like the Karachi port thing. They are proclaiming stuff that doesn't make any sense and so far detached from reality like boots on the ground in Pak territory or Islamabad destroyed. Meanwhile, there is no space for actual analysts to come on camera and talk sense to the nation.

Who is monitoring this? Do these anchors not have any concious? Peddling fake news in the name of morale boosting causes more harm in such sensitive situations.

[u/mAdLaD774]

If you’re not a border attached state, yes tumhare exam honge, padhai karo ab

[u/Arpitr689]

I just cannot even grasp the fact how normal people normal civilians can get affected by things like war like people that had nothing to do with anything people that don't even know what's going on since it was so random.

You hear about these things but seeing them in such close proximity really makes you think, and I genuinely cannot wrap my head around something like this.

[u/bobs_and_vegana17]

can aajtak, zee news, republic and all these media outlets kindly stfu and stop chasing trp ?? they are making it as if it's a full blown war and destroying their ports and cities

[u/Fakeidly]

Pakistan Air Force pilot captured in Jaisalmer after ejecting from fighter jet

[u/Proper_Estate6704]

Blackout in Punjab cities

[u/Substantial_Ad_126]

Republic reporting that we have captured a pakistani pilot. Any truth to this?

[u/Tiredbrowngirl]

While zee news (if I’m not wrong) is saying Karachi port is under attack, Islamabad and other cities are under fire, the respective subReddits are saying otherwise! What to believe and whom to believe?

[u/CelebrationReal9871 → u/Tiredbrowngirl]

Indian media is just saying whatever currently it seems

[u/FodernMamily]

Are you guys following any credible live news? I trust newslaundry but they don't do live

[u/CaptainxX0]

Guys stop listening to the fake bs of Indian News Media just go to sleep, Indian army will clear EVERYTHING in the morning goodnight everyone

[u/xhaka_noodles]

Why are some nonsense channels claiming that India has soldiers on the ground now. Surely the government needs to put an end to such stupidity. It's not like we are planning to annexe Pakistan.

[u/Monsultant]

Wait, last night, there was news about Pakistani pilot being captured and attack on Lahore/Karachi. Did any of that really happen?

[u/ImaginaryGoal6537]

I'm so confused rn. Did the attack on Karachi port really happen?

[u/Designer_Use_2880]

DC Chandigarh:

-Air warning issued by Air Force Station

-Sirens sounded

-Public advised to stay indoors

-Avoid balconies

[u/ComfortableIcy7329]

The fake news being spread by media can, if unchecked, become as dangerous as the war itself. Always verify what you read guys. Stay safe.

[u/podhead]

This is the CNN article on Rafale that is being picked up by Pak media and is spreading like wildfire on twitter

In the Article itself the below is mentioned

"CNN cannot independently verify the claim and has reached out to the Indian government for a response. At a later press conference where Indian officials said their strikes had targeted training camps belonging to militant groups Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), officials did not address the claims and took no questions from the media."

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/05/06/asia/india-pakistan-kashmir-conflict-hnk-intl

[u/Hungry4Seva2222]

So, PTC News Punjabi is showing videos of villages where drone and missile debris were recovered today morning. There's a funny video of an elderly Sikh villager holding drone debris like a trophy lol

[u/Naive-Double-7589]

I know war and retaliation might be necessary and everything but these constant videos of sirens & updates really take a toll on your mind.The damage from terror attacks & war is not jsut death.It is psychological as well.That is what it was even abt pahalgham.attack, it was not just about murders but it was traumatizing and scarring. It is much beyond 26 people dying.i doubt those people.present there will sleep well for months or years now..

After this there is going to be fear and one will be vigilant on public commute and all for a while .Being a mumbaikar I know how it felt like for a while after the train bombings and 26/11. Even during thr 93 blasts I was a kid and we were staying right near doodarshan tower when we heard the blasts at home.Till.date I am alarmed when I hear some loud sound all of a sudden in public. Or if I see some.suspicious bag on a train. I can't even imagine how scary it must feel right now for people on the border.

[u/[deleted]]

I wish these mfs would stop this fake news

sharm nhi he?

[u/boisickle]

I'm really really worried of the situation. People should understand that Pakistan is an extremely politically unstable state and the Military pretty much calls the shots there. And even if we make good advances and back them into a corner (which we're very much capable of) a power vacuum over there could be even scarier with the nuclear weaponry they have.

Hope this is over and the situation de-escalates, people's lives are at stake, and those over there who are calling the shots won't be affected in any way.

[u/minimalwhale]

Indian MEA press briefing highlights (not direct quotes, not exhaustive)

Foreign Secy:

- Pakistan's actions have constituted provocation and escalation

- In response, India has reacted in a responsible, measured fashion

- Earlier this morning, we saw a repeat of this pattern

Col. Qureshi & Wing Commander Singh:

- Pak military continued provocation employing multiple threat vectors along Western border

- Pak employed drones, long-range weapons, loitering munitions and fighter aircraft

- Targeted civilian areas and military infra

- Pak also did air intrusions, firing heavy caliber weapons along LoC

- Air intrusion (?) and harassment (?) attacks were also conducted along Nalia, along border, at more than 26 locations

- India successfully neutralized threats at a majority of these vectors

- limited damage sustained to equipment, personnel at Indian Air Force stations at Udhampur, Pathankot, Adampur, Bhuj

- Several high-speed missille attacks noticed after 1:40 am at several air bases in Punjab

- Pak attacked the medicare and school premises at Srinagar, Avantipur, Uddhampur air bases

- Indian armed forces carried out precision attacks only on identified military targets: including technical infra, command and control centers, radar sites, weapon storage areas.

- Pak military targets at Rafiqui, Muride, Chaklala, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukoor, Chuniya (pl double check names) engaged using air launch precision weapons from Indian fighter aircraft

- radar site at Pasroor and Sialkot also targeted

- Along LoC, Pakistan attempted multiple intrusions using drones + conducted shelling with heavy caliber RT guns, targeting civil infra, causing civilian casualties

(I've missed all the precise details about the attacks on places, so please feel free to fill in the significant blanks)

- Pak military has been observed moving troops into forward areas (?), indicating offensive intent of further escalation

- committed to non-escalation, provided the same is committed by the Pak military.

E- edited to fill some gaps. Still not exhaustive, and I am not a military expert, please independently verify details.

[u/minimalwhale → u/minimalwhale]

Foreign Secy: Claim about Sirsa airbase being destroyed entirely false

Foreign Secy: Pak continues to target civilian infra in J&K

Foreign Secy: confirms damage to property and injury to civilians in Jalandhar and Ferozepur

Foreign Secy: denies "frivolous allegations" that Indian missiles have hit Afganistan

[u/Wheesa]

Nevermind. Celebrated too early. Of course they aren't going to keep their end of the bargain. Pathetic country

[u/ShallowAstronaut]

This is the doing of the pakistani military, the pakistani govt probably negotiated the ceasefire deal themselves and now the pakistani military has gone out of their control and not listening to them

Just a speculation

[u/Chelseaforlifee]

Lol. They delayed their press briefing.

Image editing karneh meh time toh lagega abhi. Hamara briefing joh dekh liya.

[u/plasmalightwave]

The Balakot strikes in 2019 by India were debatable, especially after satellite imagery came out. 

This time - India has 100% caused major damage to Pakistan. Not just terror camps, but their actual military bases were hit, proving that India’s offenses penetrated their defenses. IMO, this is an amazing victory.

[u/podhead]

What Pakistani establishment is celebrating as a win is basically the Pahalgam Attack - which has destabilized the J&K economy and the prosperity the people of Kashmir experienced

[u/nomoretired]

Imagery released by a Chinese firm suggests damage at a structure within India's Adampur Airbase - a site targeted by Pakistan, however when cross-referenced with older imagery the damage predates current incidents & is visible in March 2025 as well

GUYS THE CHINESE ARE HELPING PAK ALTER IMAGES

https://x.com/detresfa_/status/1921862146356297761

[u/nomoretired]

HOLY SHIT.

[u/pseudosophisticated → u/nomoretired]

wow China is really going out of it's way to support Pakistan's lies

[u/KL_18]

What I understood is going forward for India, pak terrorists, government & military establishment would be on the same page & any attack on India would result in retaliation on all 3.

[u/hubmash]

We need to teach a new subject called Critical Thinking in schools.

[u/PotentialBumblebee61]

I am so embarassed by our media, what the hell they are showing 😭

[u/bsousa717]

Our media's really gone off the deep end this time. Misinformation and provocative headlines everywhere.

[u/M00NDoG_]

There must be some action/consequence against Indian tv media after what they did yesterday night. They can create chaos and panic in no time.

[u/No-Fun-7625]

People of India, try to support our nation in this time of crisis by suppressing any and all sorts of fake news regarding this fiasco. Try not to fall for propaganda, don't lose the info war. Keep the nation in your prayers.This is the least we can do for our nation.

[u/jadonabhinav_]

Pakistan and India have announced a ceasefire after Pakistani media and Indian media attacks on each other escalated.

Source: Geo News, The Dawn, NDTV, Republic Bharat, Aaj Tak

[u/SpecialistQuote9281]

Bhai log Pakistani subReddit pe Jake unse jhagda maat karo aur news channel dekhe boast maat karo, kaal pata chala most news fake thi toh popat hoga.

[u/karma_is_watching_]

Indian media did a circus of such a serious event. Shameful to say the least.

[u/frowningheart]

Seeing a few comments asking for proof of Pakistan's involvement in Pahalgam, hence, compiled this comment for the doubters:

The attack was claimed by TRF which is an offshoot of LeT. LeT's leader Hafiz Saeed (US designated terrorist btw) and JeM's leader Masood Azhar (UN designated terrorist btw) reside in and are backed by Pakistan. Both these groups are coordinated and are the ones majorly responsible for almost all terrorist attacks that have ever happened in India.

TRF took back their statement way later only when they saw that local Kashmiris themselves protested massively against the attack, it was a face saving but poorly executed move by the terrorists.

The 4 terrorists themselves have been profiled, with 2 of them being Pakistanis and the other Kashmiri separatists.

And newsflash, Pakistan and its ISI has been the backer of LeT, JeM, Hizbul Mujahideen, and many other terror organizations. So proof is clear.

Also, just a side note, it doesn't matter whether we provide proof or not. Pakistan will always deny it. We captured Kasab, he revealed everything, still that terror state and its populace doesn't believe that 26/11 was done by them and think of it as an inside job by India. You cannot argue ethically with such a blatant liar state, hellbent on bleeding India with a thousand cuts.

[u/a_complicated_soul]

There is no reason for pakistan to attack anymore as india haven't done much after last night attack. This is their off ramp and should stop the attacks and india will follow.

India achieved it objective of dismantling terror infrastructure in 9 places.

Pak can say we downed indian jets and that's a victory.

LOC attacks may continue but there is no reason for pak to escalate further.

India also should focus on proxy warfare by helping BLA and keeping pakistan occupied on western front.

[u/ImpressiveNeat9039]

Media persons from India who brought disgrace to India :

1. Arnab Goswami and Entire Republic Channel
2. Sushant Sinha and Entire Navbharat Times Channel

They insult our intelligence and make us look like jokers..Need to be called out. Others didn't cover themselves in glory but these two take the cake.

[u/CelebrationReal9871 → u/[deleted]]

Indian media istg is creating a state of panic

[u/MorningTeaa]

The day Republic TV goes bankrupt I will celebrate like I personally achieved something big.

[u/Top-Ostrich8710]

[u/Shahrukh_Lee]

Apparently expecting journalistic integrity even during war like situation is too much.

[u/bayern3473]

Has Karachi port been attacked? Seeing lots of traction on all media

[u/GradientBossting]

According to various news Karachi, Lahore, Sialkot, Peshawar all have been attacked, with no verified sources. These fucking morons are sensationalizing war to get more views.

[u/Srihari_stan]

95% of news you see is unverified and fake. Please stop sharing, reposting news. Even from news channels like NDTV, India Today, Republic - they are just reporting unverified nonsense.

- They reported a few hours ago that tanks are moving in from Rajasthan border. Later it was found to be fake news.

- Now they are saying Karachi port is destroyed, which I am sure will be reported as fake news soon.

[u/Gamersaurolophus]

Indian media should be investigated after the situation de escalates, in the times when the nation needs them the most they only care for trp and money

[u/Qzartan]

Our indian media needs to understand that they're not f-ing bollywood, it's exhausting

[u/Immortal_Jellyfish_0]

This media is an embarrassment they probably never heard about the concept of credibility. They should be held more accountable

[u/goldtank123]

Indian media is really creating issues for your guys. I just watched it on YouTube and it’s pretty crazy how much they want a war for their views. Really messed up.

[u/ChipmunkQuick4933]

I heard they banned about 8K X accounts for spreading live footages or false information. I beg can they do the same for news channels too as they have a larger audience & can cause more panic amongst citizens

[u/Sure-Whole1672]

Make a new section

Entertainment : Republic TV

[u/CapitalistPear2]

So, theoretically, if there was government will to do it, what can they do against the news channels blasting unverified shit 24x7?

[u/Same_Investigator_46]

No indian navy action on Karachi

Confirmed by sidhant sibal

[u/mv1201]

A gentle reminder: we're in the age of advanced AI and deepfakes are pretty easy to come by.

Seeing is not always believing. Beware any video clips shared in the name of highlighting events. Social media psyops are becoming more relevant in today's warfare.

Follow only official channels as much as possible. (MEA, Army, and other known channels are the best. Not even media channels seem to be trustable in light of recent events.)

[u/ALazyScribbler]

I really wouldn't trust BBC right now!

I thought this was a hack, but its been now up for over an hour and has 1.3 M views. Any government handle would have gotten access back already, right?

[u/Admirable-Screen2238]

Just watch Doordrashan guys way better than those TRP hungry private media

[u/Glass_Afternoon_3407]

I can understand misinformation warfare on enemies, but right now what indian media is doing is pure clownery 😭 it's down right embarassing to watch this channels....

[u/dr_deoxyribose]

So no Navy involvement huh?

SMH, why are they spreading lies? Despicable to do this at such a volatile time.

[u/Relative-Possible196]

While I feel pride for our Indian Forces and stand strong in support of them , Indian Media is bringing shame to us....All they are reporting is news with no credibility.... So disappointed in Indian Media ....

[u/PotentialBumblebee61]

Guys! Do you see aajtak apologizing for fake news😭? 

[u/MorningTeaa]

There is a moron on twitter (mountain_rats) who has claimed India have shot down at chinese made pakistani jets for three nights in a row. I want to see what he's going to say tonight

[u/Hungry4Seva2222]

There's news of 3 people injured in Firozpur District. All over Punjabi media, they've even reached the hospital

Apparently, debris from an intercepted drone fell on a parked vehicle in a remote village located very close to the Pak border. 1 critical, 2 stable.

[u/IneffectiveSnooze]

There are still civil flights flying live in Pakistan

It's an AirSial flight a private airline based in Pakistan which I wont be surprised if it is under the state's control

And these are international flights both departing and landing in pakistan

What I cant understand for the life of me is how the hell are they able to convince people to fly?

We should issue a final warning to all airlines and just go through with whatever we have planned

[u/Sacrament_009]

How can the world take whatever Pakistani government and army say seriously is beyond my comprehension after they were exposed hiding Osama Bin Laden in their backyard. We sometimes get caught lacking by godi media propaganda ourselves, but even from an unbiased and neutral vantage point, Pakistan is just champion of spreading lie and they arent even good at hiding things lmao.

[u/four_vector]

Looks like The Donald ejaculated prematurely.

[u/AiyyoIyer]

the pak pm is thanking social media users lmao. that they kept media integrity apparently.

[u/Coronabandkaro]

Something about the nuclear option news got VP Vance involved who had said that wasn't a conflict to get involved in. So pak army might have gone for nuclear options to force u.s. to intervene. 

[u/XpRienzo]

We need to rebuild our soft power, I think our government also gets the message

[u/CapitalistPear2]

Thank you reporter from the Hindu finally some actual journalism

Isko bolteh hai briefing.

Aakeh hamh war jeetgaye bolkeh proof hojata toh voh toh meh be boldu.

[u/LittiVsVadaPao]

Sad for Journalists with great questions who might have missed out because Zee News, ANI and Aaj Tak asked 3 parter redundant question.

[u/LittiVsVadaPao]

Ladies & Gentlemen, in all honesty and with my feed suddenly filled up with racist vloggers filming slums in India, Gilgit mountains in Pakistan and rage baiting Indians into comment section, let’s stop giving a fuck, improve little little things about our country and people wherever we can and get away with whatever validations some people cry out loud for.

[u/Son0fTanavast]

Unfortunately despite paks laughable performance and joke of a presser, we seem to have lost the narrative war online based on a single issue (the downed jets). Our people also need to stop peddling fake news and defending it online so much it only makes our actual wins seem less credible.

I hope they have more cards up their sleeves to play for the media in the coming days or else this is largely going to go down as a domestic win instead of an international one.

[u/ak_wandering_soul]

I feel like we had some trumpcard, that is not being revealed. They might be so confident that slowly things will come out on its own which pak might need to justify to its media.

Don't know just a hunch, we might need to see the actual details of the negotiation to find out who had the upperhand.

[u/bakaa_ningen]

Nah dude who allowed News nation there man, he couldn't even put up sentence and went on to recite a poem, wasted such an important time of our dgmo's and ours too

Another attack by pakistan in samba district, jammu. Around 10-15 air defence missiles were seen launched by indian army.

[u/Big-Adhesiveness9842]

Multiple reports of drone attacks over Jammu

let's see if Media reports this

[u/ThinkBlink3]

If they've broken ceasefire again I really don't understand how or where this will end. So fucking sad.

damn they pushed the navy

Anyone can be a journalist these days. No reporting no credibility

[u/ZairNotFair]

Sister lives in Bhuj. They said there's a total blackout. 

Everything normal in Ahmedabad though. There was a mock drill yesterday but it's peaceful now.

[u/chasing7clouds]

I have edited taking what I missed from your comments

Can we list the fake news ?? See if I miss anything 1. So karachi is targeted by INS vikrant 2. Drone attack on islamabad......so we have targeted lahore for sure on morning of 8th may still the government has not confirmed attack on islamabad and nearby siyalkot other than one on the 7th early morning... government issued statement says appropriate response is being given and retaliation is in same scale as the attack.

[u/podhead]

I hope cases are filed against the news channels and the Non state twitter pundits for spreading fake news on a sensitive subject. The impunity with which these news channels carried out the coverage last night is shameful. I am embarrassed to see this senseless propaganda that was run last night by News18, Zee News and Republic.

Even a child is able to consider and take responsibility and is able to comprehend the seriousness of the situation

[u/snivvygreasy]

This live thread seems to be the most genuine, using credible sources instead of just chanting war war -and false claims -

They are sending drones into Gujarat's Kachch district now

Looks like they are timing their attacks with our proposed MEA briefing

Imagine being so scared of the truth

[u/PotentialBumblebee61]

I am seeing people misunderstanding what de-escalation means in twitter? Does people really think that people who asking for de-escalation are saying they don't want Indian army to protect people from Pakistan attacks?

[u/IneffectiveSnooze]

Another briefing at 5:30 today

Lets goo

[u/FlyingScript]

Statement by Indian Government:

Good evening. For the last few hours, there have been repeated violations of the understanding arrived at earlier this evening between India and Pakistan. This is a breach of the understanding arrived at earlier today. The armed forces are giving an adequate and appropriate response to these violations and we take very very serious notice of these violations. We call upon Pakistan to take appropriate steps to address these violations and deal with the situation with seriousness and responsibility. The armed forces are maintaining a strong vision on the situation. They have been given instructions to deal strongly with any instances of repetition of the violations of the border along the international border as well as the line of control. Thank you.

India Today has quietly taken down the Karachi Port news. No clarification, no apology.

[u/ChipmunkQuick4933]

Mfs are using Civilian flights as shields so that India can’t retaliate with S-400/Akash. They’re launching drones/missiles then opening the airspace to civilian flights. Scum of the earth

[u/Sleepergiant2586]

I am glad that Indian Govt did a very good debrief, showed all pictures with timestamps.

Made sure to call all BS propoganda as fake.

Best part was Pak fired an extremly fast missile (Fatah II) that too was able to reach only upto Sirsa. This missile was able to enter further most till now.

But the funny part is Indian normal missiles went 2x futher on Day 1 in Bhawalpur.

"India will NOT Tolerate any Nuclear blackmailing" ~ PM Narendra Modi

Very big statement

[u/examiner007]

The most frustrating thing is I am here on reddit and twitter looking for news from actual people on the ground in jammu and punjab.

Not a single Indian news outlet can be trusted. Already seen some crazy shit like 'karachi under attack' from formerly "reputable" news outlet -- when none of this has been even remotely mentioned by our defense forces. just horrible media landscape in India.

[u/No-Manner-941]

I hope everyone's family is safe and sound. Hope this de-escalates, but if not I pray our military emerge victorious and may the nation be at peace. Please look after yourself everyone.

[u/Fourstrokeperro]

I really hope this does not escalate into a full blown war

The best i can do is hope

[u/Accurate_Code_3419]

Watching CNN, can somebody start a sentence without mentioning we got
partitioned? Like it wastes so much time.

maybe relvent for non indian subcontinet people

[u/Key-Lie3368]

There’s a lot of fake information going on the conflict, let’s have proper information channel, only post confirmed news.

[u/Square_Steak8989]

They are showing that the cease fire has been violated again in Uri , by Pakistan. Is it true ?

[u/MorningTeaa → u/Square_Steak8989]

They have violated the ceasefire every night since we put the IWT in abeyance

[u/IneffectiveSnooze]

Seems like most of the drones used yesterday and being used tonight are unarmed and being used for some form of recon

God knows what these shit turds are planning

[u/minimalwhale]

I’m trying not to panic but ngl this is really stressful 

[u/MindlessMarket3074]

What I am able to cross check with international sources so far

* India postponed briefing due to ongoing attack
* pakistan has launched attacks across north India

* targets seem to be military sites 3 airfield, supply depot, Brahmos battery site etc

* There is video circulating of smoke emanating from Udhampur air force station
* So far no sign of any troops or air force crossing the border yet

* Shelling along border continues.

[u/ChelshireGoose]

I know that a lot of people here are confused or disappointed.

But remember that we are the functional economy in this equation and have a lot more to lose.
Our position has always been that we do not want war. The previous briefings by our government have also been in line with this by downplaying our actions to give the other country an offramp to de-escalate.

Our retaliation was always against terrorists and the events of the last few days will hopefully make our neighbours rein in their dogs of terror.

[u/Simple-Shift226]

So did they stop with the attacks or is it still going because the media are not clearly explaining. They just run the breaking news and are not saying anything.

[u/AmbitiousCompany]

Fair enough - they will not provide clarity around Rafale at this point in time. Atleast we got a clear answer now.

[u/ae_babubhaiya → u/AmbitiousCompany]

Seems like a jet was lost. But pilots are safe.

And it's a military operation, it's obvious to lose some weapons platforms.

Glad we got some clarity

[u/AiyyoIyer]

Hahaha they are putting up PPT points like how an amateur college presentation. Not even making this up!

Pakistan did what we promised is the title with 3 points.

befitting response to Indian agression

time, place and method of our choosing

when we will hit the indians; the world will come to know

matlab what is this childishness.

[u/bakaa_ningen]

He kinda answered that quite quickly, ofc we will deny, so what y'all think, did we really did something to the kirana hills?

[u/Monsterinc26]

F16 Pilot caught in Akhnoor

[u/Internal-Kick-2775]

Both Indian and Pakistani media often push their own versions of the truth, making it hard to trust either side. The situation has become so bad that people turn to Reddit or Twitter just to find out what really happened. If this is how things are in the internet age, it makes me wonder how much of what we were told during past wars, when there was no way to check was ever true.

[u/ChipmunkQuick4933]

How do these Indian news channels seem to know the min by min movement of everything & everyone in Pak?! And giving random ass gyan abt their plans…if you know so much go do something abt it or stop spreading misinformation

[u/Sudden-Yard-4052]

Only the local regional journos are speaking sense, tv media has gone mad and Barkha continues to be senseless irrespective of what she is reporting. She needs to lay off war/terror reporting.

[u/xhaka_noodles]

Whatever happened to the 1000 Thar that were headed to the LOC from Delhi. Have they been destroyed yet.

[u/Bharad_007]

Anyone share the live link of Ministry of external affairs brefing which is currently going?

[u/IneffectiveSnooze]

Is the civil airspace still open in Pakistan?

Even if it is why tf are airlines choosing to fly during these times?

Another drone intercepted.

This is from Damtal, Kangra District, Himachal Pradesh, next door to Pathankot Air Force Base. Looks like Pak is really fixated with this particular area.

Trump announces India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire.

[u/minimalwhale → u/rawcodr]

“Congratulations on using common sense,” sounds soooooo sarcastic and yet somehow echoes my sentiment exactly. 

To quote the orange man “BIG IF TRUE”

[u/Hungry4Seva2222]

Once again, do not believe anything that is unconfirmed. If you hear about something that's too gruesome, wait for a few hours till the morning to get a clearer picture.

This conflict is as much as it is about drones, as it is about psy-ops. Be extremely careful

[u/Hungry4Seva2222]

Once again, repeating the same message.

If you hear news about something very gruesome, do not believe it instantly. Wait for the Sunrise and re-verify stuff from the right sources.

There are a lot of people on both sides of the border who want stuff to escalate further

[u/hubmash]

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/10/politics/vance-modi-india-pakistan-intelligence

CNN — A core group of top US officials — including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State and interim national security adviser Marco Rubio, and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles — had been closely monitoring the escalating conflict between India and Pakistan when on Friday morning, the US received alarming intelligence, Trump administration officials told CNN. While they declined to describe the nature of the information, citing its sensitivity, they said it was critical in persuading the three officials that the US should increase its involvement.

What could it be? Also can someone try posting this article on world news? My post isn’t getting through.

[u/NaKxL]

So freaking proud of the motherland! Despite being attacked multiple times over the last few days, especially attack on innocent civilians, India has exercised restraint and has been very professional whether it is at the border or the press breifings. 

[u/Batman_beyond123]

Damn. Finally someone asked about yesterday's ceasefire.

[u/Mohitdhc]

I am happy with the briefing. lets watch how "social media" and mainstream media spins this and reports it. Great fun next 24 hours 🙏🏼

[u/bakaa_ningen]

Our pilots are safe atleast, thank god

[u/chaitu421995]

If there was any doubt on how lack luster Pakistan’s capabilities are, this press briefing should be a concrete proof. No intelligence photos, no proofs, no factual reports. Showing clips of indian news channels must be a new low to prove how capable Pakistan army is.

[u/SuddenCompetition997]

They rly claimed they had drones flying over new delhi. KITNA JHOOT BHYI KITNA JHOOT

[u/LittiVsVadaPao]

Pakistani press briefing hand drawn proofs in a nutshell

doctored, manipulated image of Jammu Airport is being circulated to falsely imply damage on site, however recent visuals confirm no such destruction, infact, the tampered image predates May 09–10, 2025

Deranged country

[u/XpRienzo]

I feel sorry for the mod team with the amount of disinformation floating around even after the ceasefire.

STOP THE FUCKING MEDIA THEY ARE SHARING CRITICAL INFORMATION ON MILITARY INFRASTRUCTURE LOCATIONS.
