Video of a spinning rocket plummeting from the sky in northeastern Thailand has been widely shared online miscaptioned as showing an Israeli-made Indian drone downed in Pakistan amid escalating tensions between the South Asian neighbours.

Demonstrating its technological capabilities during “Operation Sindoor”, Indian Air Force jammed Pakistan’s Chinese-supplied air defence systems, completing the mission in just 23 minutes.

Pakistan Army allegedly launched between 300 and 400 drones targeting Indian military infrastructure along the country’s northern and western frontiers.

From his digital war room, armed only with open-source intelligence (OSINT) tools and satellite imagery, he picked apart the ISPR’s narrative piece by piece.

India launched multiple Israeli-made Harop drones targeting Pakistan overnight and into Thursday, with one damaging a military site and wounding four soldiers, a Pakistani army spokesman said.

Pakistan shot down 12 drones from India that violated its airspace, the military said on Thursday, a day after Indian strikes on multiple targets in the country fanned fears of a larger military conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbours.

Two Turkish military operatives were killed during India's precision military campaign under Operation Sindoor, sources added. “This will not be disclosed by Pakistan,” sources said.

Moreover, if even one Indian civilian aircraft is disrupted due to Pakistani military aggression, India could retaliate by enforcing a shutdown of Lahore Airport-Pakistan's busiest civilian air hub-in line with the Modi Doctrine of strategic escalation to secure deterrence.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has designated Mumbai as a red zone for drone operations, making unauthorised drone flights a serious violation. Despite the directive, a 23-year-old man was caught operating a drone in Mumbai's Powai area on Sunday (May 11).
