A recent post by a handle claiming to be “BRICS News” went viral, alleging that Pakistan has destroyed an Indian S-400 air defense system. The post included visuals of national flags and military equipment, designed to look convincing. It quickly spread across platforms, stirring speculation and concern.
However, PIB Fact Check has officially confirmed that this claim is entirely FAKE. No such incident has occurred, and India’s S-400 air defense systems remain intact and fully operational. This misinformation appears to be part of a coordinated attempt to mislead the public and disrupt trust in national security.
In times of tension, fake news can escalate panic and create false narratives. It’s crucial to cross-check information from credible sources and avoid sharing unverified content. Stay alert, and help stop the spread of digital deception.
