Fact Check Pakistan determines the video is deep fake with an audio recording dubbed over it. The voice over has an Indian accent that is unlike that of the Pakistani military official. The doctored video shows the audio is not lip-synced with the wordings and is manipulated.

The military spokesperson made no mention or admission of the plane being shot down. He stated that 25 Harop drones launched by India in multiple cities of the Pakistan.

The actual press conference on May 8 can be seen below.
