FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the video and found that the video is old.
When we extracted keyframes of the video and put them through Reverse Image Search, we found the same video in a report by India Today on YouTube. The video was dated July 2, 2017.
According to a report by Aaj Tak, the video is from the India-China border in Sikkim.
The video, originally came out in 2017, during the Doklam standoff between Indian Armed Forces and the People’s Liberation Army of China over the construction of a road, by Chinese authorities, in Doklam near a trijunction border area, known as Donglang.
The above information proves that the video in circulation is not a recent one. Hence, the above post is misleading.
