MASTUNG: The Indian proxy Fitna al Hindustan linked Afghan propaganda account is spreading false and baseless claims of a drone attack on a Pakistani military base in Khad Kocha, Mastung district of Balochistan.
The Claim
An Afghan-based account named Rakhnah, which has repeatedly circulated anti-Pakistan content and misleading claims about the country’s security situation, posted on X (formerly Twitter) that a Pakistan Army base in Khad Kocha, Mastung, had been targeted in a drone attack.
The post presented the alleged incident as breaking news, potentially creating the impression that Pakistani military installations had come under attack.
Fact Check
However, local authorities and officials concerned have categorically rejected the claim, confirming that no drone attack took place in Khad Kocha or anywhere in the reported area.
Authorities termed the circulating report fake and baseless, clarifying that no such incident had been reported.

Interestingly, Mastung also does not host a major permanent Pakistan Army base of the kind described in the viral claim. The district, however, has witnessed repeated counterterrorism operations against Indian proxies.
The misleading report emerged a day after Pakistani security forces killed 27 terrorists belonging to Fitna al Hindustan in an intelligence-based operation in Balochistan.
Verdict
The claim that a Pakistani military base in Khad Kocha, Mastung, was targeted in a drone attack is false.
Local authorities have explicitly denied the alleged incident, confirming that no such attack took place. The viral report is unsubstantiated and forms part of misleading social media content circulating about Pakistan’s security situation.
It is pertinent to mention here that security forces, a day earlier, killed 27 Fitna al Hindustan terrorists
in an intelligence-based operation in Mastung.
According to security officials, the operation was conducted in two phases in Karam Valley, during which 15 terrorists were killed in the first phase and another 12 in the second.
The timing of the false claim has raised concerns about attempts to circulate misleading information and create confusion surrounding Pakistan’s ongoing counterterrorism operations.
Mastung is a highland district in northwestern Balochistan, bordering the provincial capital Quetta. It is among the districts where separatist insurgent groups and Islamist militant organisations operate, posing security challenges for the region.
