ISLAMABAD  -  Pakistan yesterday rubbished Indian propaganda that Shaheen missiles were used in the Operation Bunyanun Marsoos (BM).

Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan said the Indian media’s propaganda was baseless.

In response to the baseless claims regarding Pakistan’s use of Shaheen missile in Operation Bunyanun Marsoos (BM), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs firmly rejected the unfounded allegations circulating in certain segments of the Indian media, which falsely claim that Pakistan employed the Shaheen missile during the operation against India.

These claims originated following the release of a video by the Indian Army’s official X handle, pur-portedly showing the use of Pakistan’s Shaheen missile, the FO spokesperson said.

Upon realizing that the claim was unsubstantiated, the Indian Army promptly deleted the misleading video. However, by then, sections of the Indian media had already amplified the false narrative with-out verification. Regrettably, some Indian outlets continue to propagate this misinformation, he add-ed.

The Indian Army’s official handle has remained silent on the matter, offering neither clarification nor retraction for the erroneous post.

Analysts observe that such disinformation campaigns are part of a deliberate attempt to obscure In-dia’s setbacks in Operation Sindoor, which were a result of Pakistan’s demonstrated conventional mili-tary capabilities.

“These fabricated stories align with New Delhi’s ongoing efforts to promote a misleading narrative re-garding the ceasefire and baseless allegations of so-called nuclear blackmail by Pakistan,” Khan said.

The range of weapons used by Pakistan is detailed in the ISPR press release dated May 12. “The Paki-stan Armed Forces employed precision-guided, long-range Fatah series missiles, F1 and F2, as well as advanced munitions, highly capable long-range loitering killer drones, and precision long-range artil-lery. The military sites in India and in IIOJ&K targeted by these assets are also listed in the ISPR Press Release of 12th May,” he mentioned.

The spokesperson said: “Disseminating unverified and inflammatory content not only undermines re-gional stability but also reflects poorly on the professionalism of official institutions.”
