Army debunks Pakistan propaganda about 'Chinese troops inside Arunachal'

What's behind this

The Indian Army has publicly refuted social‑media claims that Chinese forces made a major territorial gain in Arunachal Pradesh, including an alleged 50 km advance in early November. After investigating the reports, the army’s fact‑check unit identified six social‑media handles it said were deliberately spreading misleading information and described the activity as a coordinated, inauthentic campaign, suggesting it was run from Pakistan. The army concluded the claims of Chinese troops defeating Indian forces and advancing nearly 50 km were false.
