Indian Media Airs Misidentified Drone Strike Footage Amid West Asia Conflict

Several Indian news outlets, including Aaj Tak, NDTV, News18, and CNN-News18, aired a video claiming it showed an Iranian drone strike on Dubai. However, fact-checks by Alt News and Khaleej Times clarified the footage was from Bahrain, not Dubai. Despite official warnings from Dubai Police against sharing false information, some channels have not removed the video. The incident has raised concerns about journalistic standards and fact-checking in Indian media coverage of the West Asia conflict.
