Pakistani security officials have strongly denied Kashmir blast reports circulating in Indian and international media. They stated on Thursday that the claims were baseless and had “no truth” whatsoever.
A British news agency had earlier reported that loud explosions were heard in the Jammu region of Indian-occupied Kashmir. According to the same source, emergency sirens were also triggered in several areas.
Indian media picked up the story and claimed that a complete blackout had been enforced in the Jammu region. Some Indian outlets went further, alleging that blasts took place in multiple areas. These included Akhnoor, Samba, and Kathua.
However, Pakistani sources rejected the entire narrative. They insisted there were no attacks or military strikes on their part. Officials called the Kashmir blast reports “fabricated” and “misleading.”
This isn’t the first time that such reports have emerged during heightened border tensions. Indian officials often issue similar claims, especially during periods of military alert. But once again, Pakistani authorities have completely denied any involvement.
They emphasized that Kashmir blast reports were designed to spread panic and fuel propaganda. Pakistani security representatives urged the media to verify facts before broadcasting such sensitive information.
The confusion began shortly after the British newswire released its initial report. Within minutes, Indian television networks began airing footage showing darkened streets in Jammu. Anchors spoke of power cuts, sirens, and unconfirmed blasts in the region.
Indian authorities also claimed that security had been tightened across the area. They cited Akhnoor, Samba, and Kathua as some of the affected locations. According to them, the explosions caused alarm among local residents.
Pakistani sources, however, remained firm in their response. They stressed again that there had been no cross-border activity. They described the Kashmir blast reports as speculative and not based on any verified evidence.
Independent analysts suggest that such unconfirmed reports often reflect internal tensions within Indian-administered Kashmir. Media outlets sometimes amplify these events, either for political purposes or to serve a specific narrative.
Despite repeated denials from Pakistan, the Kashmir blast reports continued to trend online. Social media users from both countries posted videos and comments. Many demanded clarification from their respective governments.
Pakistani authorities closed their statement by urging restraint. They advised journalists and news agencies to avoid publishing Kashmir blast reports without fact-checking. In their view, peace in the region relies on truth, not rumor.
