On Tuesday, today, Indian media aired a video which shows the destruction of a supposed Pakistan Army post.
The video in question was not dated and showed a ramshackle structure, which appeared uninhabited, being shot at and then collapsing.
Indian print media alleges that Pakistan has been supporting terrorists in infiltrating into its territories. Major General Ashok Narula told Indian media that “Pak Army has been providing support to armed infiltrators by engaging our forward troops from their weapon emplacements and pill-boxes closer to the Line of Control. At times they have not even hesitated to target villages in the proximity of Line of Control,”

Indian claims of destroying Pakistani post along LOC in Naushera Sec and firing by Pak Army on civilians across LOC are false.— Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor (@OfficialDGISPR) May 23, 2017
Earlier this month Pakistan Army dismissed claims made by India that its soldiers had been killed and mutilated by Pakistani special forces.
India proceeded to use its unsubstantiated claims as justification for escalating firing at the border which killed Pakistani civilians.
In recent months we have seen the Indian media proactively pursuing a hostile narrative, however at the same time, failing to provide any substantial evidence to justify its grievances.
