Video actually shows Yemen's Huthi drill, not ambush

A video falsely depicting a Pakistani military convoy ambush has been circulating on social media, misrepresenting a Huthi military exercise from Yemen. The video was falsely linked to the Baloch Liberation Army and the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan. The video, originally from March 2024, shows a Huthi military drill, not an attack on Pakistani troops. The footage was shared with claims of a BLA attack, coinciding with heightened tensions and accusations between India and Pakistan following an attack in Kashmir. This misinformation spread on platforms like Facebook and X, fueled by existing conflict and the "Operation Sindoor" narrative. The original video was identified through reverse image searches, revealing its true origin as a Huthi military exercise in Yemen.
