A tweet shared by @TheLegateIN on X, originally from @GlobNow34163, alleges that an Indian YouTuber visited the site of a Pakistan Air Force (PAF) strike on Afghan civilians in Paktia province. Our factβcheck confirms this claim is false and originates from known Indiaβlinked propaganda accounts designed to spread disinformation. No credible evidence or independent reporting supports the existence of such a YouTuber or visit. The image and narrative are recycled from older, unrelated incidents. In my opinion, this is a textbook example of crossβborder misinformation intended to inflame tensions between India and Pakistan. Readers should rely only on verified local reports from Afghan or international sources.
