The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday categorically rejected baseless and misleading claims, propagated by segments of Indian media, alleging use of Pakistan\u2019s Shaheen missile during Operation Bunyanum Marsoos (BM).<\/p>\n
In an official statement, Foreign Office Spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan condemned the allegations as \u201cunfounded\u201d and part of a broader campaign of disinformation.<\/p>\n
He noted that the claims gained traction after Indian Army\u2019s official Twitter account shared a video purporting to show Pakistan\u2019s use of Shaheen missile \u2014 an assertion that was quickly debunked and led to the post being deleted. However, by then, various Indian media outlets had already circulated the narrative without verification, he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Indian Army has offered no clarification or retraction following the removal of its erroneous post. This silence raises serious questions about the credibility and intent behind such disinformation,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n
He said that spread of such false narratives, apparently aimed at distracting from India\u2019s setbacks in Operation Sindoor and from Pakistan\u2019s conventional military successes. \u201cRather than acknowledging the ground realities, India seems intent on manufacturing stories to deflect attention and mislead public and international observers,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
He further highlighted that detailed information on the weaponry used by Pakistan in Operation BM was publicly released in the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement on 12 May 2025. According to the ISPR, the Pakistan Armed Forces deployed precision-guided Fatah series missiles (F1 and F2), advanced long-range loitering munitions, and highly accurate long-range artillery \u2014 none of which included Shaheen missile.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese details are available in the public domain, and any credible analysis should reference them, rather than rely on speculative and inflammatory reports,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Calling for responsible journalism and institutional accountability, he warned that the dissemination of unverified and provocative content endangered regional peace and reflected poorly on the professionalism of state institutions.<\/p>\n
The Ministry reiterated Pakistan\u2019s commitment to regional stability and transparency while urging the Indian side to refrain from narratives that undermined dialogue and mutual trust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
