The real story of IAF Pakistan airstrike video

ISLAMABAD: India on Tuesday claimed to have killed hundreds of militants in airstrikes deep inside Pakistani territory.

Although Pakistan has admitted that Indian Air Force violated its airspace, it said the enemy aircraft escaped soon after F-16 fighter jets were scrambled to bring down Mirage 2000 planes that intended to hit targets on Pakistani territory.

While India has failed to provide any solid evidence of damages IAF inflicted on Pakistan, local media has been airing a video of fighter jets that it said attacked Pakistan. The claim is false.

The video is three years old and it was first posted on Youtube in 2016 by a Pakistani user.
