Fact-Check: Pakistan claims to have blocked Indian navy submarine by uses old footage

DFRAC Editor October 22, 2021 1 min read

On October 19,2021, Pakistani news channels claimed to have successfully blocked an Indian Navy submarine from entering Pakistani waters. The claim is supported by the ‘actual footage’ of the submarine in a river body. 

Defence Post’s coverage of the incident

The news was covered by outlets such as Dawn, Pakistan Today and even Hindu.

PTI Pakistan’s coverage included screenshots from a TV channel

Fact-Check: 

We performed a keyframe and keyword search on the footage and found reports dating back to 2019 when Pakistan made a similar claim. In 2019, Pakistan accused the Indian Navy of entering their waters and posted the same footage then as well. 

Here is a segment by Economic Times posted in March,2019 using the same footage.

Same footage was used in 2019

Since the video is clearly old, this claim is misleading.
