Indian Army Refutes Claims of Chinese Advance in Arunachal Pradesh
The Indian Army has refuted social media claims that Chinese forces advanced nearly 50 km into Arunachal Pradesh and took control of Indian territory. The Army identified six suspected Pakistan-sponsored accounts spreading these unsubstantiated claims in a coordinated disinformation campaign aimed at undermining the Indian military. Officials urged the public to rely on credible sources for border-related information. Recent reports confirm ongoing face-offs between Indian and Chinese troops in Arunachal Pradesh, with Indian forces actively managing the situation.
