What is the truth?

When the video is watched closely, name of the Instagram account ‘Bordoberelilerr’ is mentioned in it. When searched for the same on google, it is revealed that ‘Bordo Bereliler’ is a nickname of the Special Forces Command division of the Turkish Armed Forces.

The Instagram account ‘Bordo Bereliler’ mentions ‘Social Media Platform Turkish Armed Forces’ as its description.

When searched for the viral video, it seem to have been published on ‘Bordo Bereliler’ Facebook page in August 2018.

When we searched for the news on the war against Baloch people by Pakistan army, ‘The Quint’ article dated 4, November 2021 mentions, “According to local sources, helicopters have been seen shelling in Uch-Kaman areas and massive explosions heard. Several houses have been burnt, all traffic routes have been blocked and a large number of gunship helicopters were spotted hovering over these areas while military choppers are shelling the place”, but the viral video is unrelated to the claim made as it is from Turkey.

Conclusion

The social media post with a video claiming that Pakistan declared war on Balochistan is fake. It is an old video from ‘Bordo Bereliler’, Special Forces Command division of the Turkish Armed Forces.
