False Satyameva Jayate

In a recent video, a vehicle can be seen driving through an airport with many damaged aircraft visible. Users are claiming that this is a visual of Nur Khan Airbase in Pakistan which was severely damaged in the Indian attack. 

However, Fact Crescendo found the claim to be false. This video is from Sudan and not related to the India-Pakistan war.

Fact Check- 

A Google Reverse Image Search on a keyframe of the viral video revealed that the same had been uploaded on a YouTube Channel on 1 April 2025, a month before India launched Operation Sindoor to counter Pakistan. 

The caption of the video reads, “Status Of Khartoum Airport After It Was Vandalized By Rsf Fighters

Khartoum Airport is located in the Khartoum city of Sudan. 

We also found the same video uploaded on an Instagram account on 31 March 2025. The caption reads, “Sad visuals of the Khartoum International Airport (KRT/HSSK), Sudan, which show the destruction of a large number of aircraft on the apron during the clashes between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces in May 2023. The Sudanese army has announced the recapture of Khartoum International Airport from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), marking a key travel infrastructure gain in the country’s two-year civil war.

Additionally, in the viral video, we can see several areas marked with ‘BADR Ground Handling.’ A keyword search reveals that the BADR Ground Handling department provides services for all BADR Airlines aircraft operating at Khartoum International and Domestic Airport in Sudan.

Conclusion: 

Fact Crescendo found the claim to be false. The viral video is of Khartoum Airport in Sudan after a clash between Sudanese army and Rapid Support Force (RSF). This video has no connection to the Indo-Pak War.
