What started as a precision strike on terrorist camps in Pakistan has turned into a full-blown online panic attack, with wild claims flying that India may have accidentally — or intentionally — blasted Kirana Hills, an alleged hush-hush nuclear storage site buried deep in Pakistan’s heartland.
Yes, Kirana Hills — the secretive mountain zone near Sargodha that’s long been whispered about in hushed tones and conspiracy forums. And now, it’s become the epicenter of a digital firestorm.
TikTok theorists are spinning tales faster than Netflix churns out K-dramas. Reddit is ablaze with blurry satellite shots. And X (formerly Twitter) is buzzing with hashtags like #KiranaStrike and #WW3Incoming — because of course it is.
But here’s the truth bomb: India says it never touched the place.
“We have not hit Kirana Hills — whatever is there,” said Air Marshal AK Bharti, basically drop-kicking the rumour mill with a smirk.
Oh, and just in case that wasn’t clear, he added, “Thank you for telling us Kirana Hills houses some nuclear installation. We didn’t know about it.” Savage.
On May 7, in response to the grisly April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam — where 26 civilians were slaughtered in cold blood — India launched Operation Sindoor, a targeted operation to obliterate terror camps. The Indian Air Force rained fire down on nine terrorist hubs, not civilian areas, and definitely not nuclear bunkers.
Suddenly, an earthquake in Pakistan? “Must’ve been the blast.” IAF jets flying near Sargodha? “They were aiming for the nukes!” Earthquakes, drones, and random goats caught in the chaos? “Evidence!”
Some folks even dragged Egypt and the U.S. into the mix, claiming they’re helping Pakistan “clean up the radiation.” Others are sharing Call of Duty clips as “proof.”
The IAF couldn’t be clearer: this wasn’t a war move — it was a retaliation against terror. Full stop.
Still, the Kirana chatter continues to swirl. Because in the age of deepfakes, 10-second clips, and endless reels, why let facts get in the way of a viral story?
So here we are: a real military op hijacked by social media’s thirst for doomsday. No nukes were hit. No bunkers were bombed. Just the digital world, once again, setting itself on fire.
