Amid heightened military tensions between India and Pakistan, sirens were reportedly heard in Sialkot, a city in Pakistan’s Punjab province, located near the international border with Jammu. However, social media posts claiming to show visuals of strikes or explosions in the area have now been debunked as unrelated.
The initial reports, which gained traction online, included visuals of large fires allegedly from Sialkot. These were widely shared but have since been flagged as footage from unrelated incidents.
As of now, no official confirmation has been issued by the Indian or Pakistani governments regarding any fresh strikes in Sialkot. The situation remains tense in the region following Operation Sindoor, but circulating visuals should be viewed with caution unless verified by credible sources.
