A fresh controversy has erupted online after a Pakistani military officer claimed that missile strikes carried out during heightened India-Pakistan tensions had successfully targeted two Indian airbases that reportedly do not exist as operational air force facilities. The statement quickly sparked widespread reactions and mockery across social media platforms.

The incident relates to tensions that escalated after the Pahalgam terror attack in 2025, following which Pakistan reportedly launched drone and missile operations under what it called “Operation Bunyan Ul Marsoos.” Several regions across Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Gujarat witnessed increased military activity and air defence responses during that period.

In a viral video now circulating online, Pakistani officer Captain Muneeb Zamal claimed that their forces had successfully struck “Rajouri Airbase” and “Mamun Airbase” during the offensive. However, defence observers and internet users pointed out that Rajouri is a district in Jammu and Kashmir without an operational Indian Air Force base, while Mamun is known as a military cantonment area in Punjab rather than an airbase.

The officer further claimed that the presence of civilians during missile preparations boosted confidence among military personnel during the operation. His remarks quickly became the subject of online jokes and criticism, with many social media users questioning the accuracy of the claims and mocking the naming of non-existent targets.

During the May 10, 2025 escalation, Pakistan had reportedly used Fatah-1 guided artillery rockets as part of the offensive. Indian air defence systems later claimed to have intercepted one such projectile over Sirsa in Haryana before it could cause damage. Missile debris was later reportedly discovered in several locations including Haryana, Rajasthan, Punjab, and Kashmir.

The viral video has once again drawn attention to the information warfare and propaganda narratives often seen during periods of military tension between India and Pakistan. Experts believe such statements can fuel misinformation and confusion during already sensitive geopolitical situations.

Despite the online reactions, there has been no official military clarification from Pakistan regarding the naming of the alleged targets. The controversy continues to trend on social media, with users sharing memes, satellite maps, and sarcastic comments questioning the credibility of the officer’s claims.
