Instead, it shows Pakistan Independence Day celebrations in Manchester, UK, which took place in August 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We traced the original video to a post by the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bfirstparty\/status\/1836389815626895705\">Britain First party<\/a> on X, dated September 2024. he party used the clip to criticize what they claimed was unfair treatment by British police towards British natives compared to foreigners.

Pakistan reported 31 civilian casualties and accused India of hitting mosques. In retaliation, Pakistan claimed it downed Indian aircraft and launched drone and missile strikes. Although a ceasefire was reached by May 10, tensions remain high, and misinformation has been widespread on both sides of the border.
