A comprehensive fact-check review confirms that the tweet posted by @TheLegateIN, originally quoting @DesiEsco7, claiming '20+ Pakistan army soldiers died in Mustang in clashes with Baloch rebels. Clashes are still on, so wait for more casualties' is completely fabricated and originates from India-linked propaganda accounts. There is no credible evidence, official Pakistani military statement, or independent media report supporting the claim. The location 'Mustang' is a district in Nepal, not a conflict zone in Balochistan, further exposing the falsehood. This appears to be part of a coordinated disinformation campaign aimed at undermining Pakistan's security narrative and sowing discord. In my opinion, such fake news is dangerous and irresponsible; it exploits real conflicts for geopolitical manipulation and should be dismissed by responsible media and readers.
