The entire region teeters on the edge of a broader conflict amid speculations that the US might directly join Tel Aviv against Tehran. But on social media, a battle has broken out where users are sharing information nuggets and memes on World War III. Although the president suggested he does not want to engage in a war with Iran, he would not let Tehran acquire a nuclear weapon.

Is Amritsar really under threat? Here's what we know so far
As tensions escalate between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor, a wave of panic has spread across social media claiming that Amritsar is under immediate danger, with some unverified videos alleging missile activity in the area. Amritsar district administration has issued an urgent advisory, urging citizens to remain calm and indoors, as reported by ANI. 'Taking utmost caution, Amritsar district administration has again started the blackout process. Please stay at home, do not panic and do not gather outside your houses; keep the outside lights switched off,' said the Amritsar DPRO in an official statement late Wednesday night. Punjab | Taking utmost caution, Amritsar district administration has again started the blackout process. Please stay at home, do not panic and do not gather outside your houses; keep the outside lights switched off: Amritsar DPRO — ANI (@ANI) May 7, 2025 The announcement came amid a surge of online reports claiming missile-like objects were seen in the sky, and suggesting surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) were launched from the vicinity of Amritsar Airport or surrounding defence zones. These claims have not yet been confirmed by any central defence authority. Some Visuals from Amritsar , local people posting on their whatsapp and facebook status… — Flaming Saffron 🇮🇳 (@FlamingSaffron) May 7, 2025 These claims quickly gained traction, especially after earlier reports of sirens being heard in Sialkot, Pakistan — just across the international border from Jammu. Black out in Amritsar, citizens paranoid after hearing some explosions. Praying for everyone's safety. Hoping that this not an attack. — Abhijeet Dipke (@abhijeet_dipke) May 7, 2025 Here's what locals are saying: Multiple local users on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) posted that lights had gone out in parts of Amritsar, describing it as a 'partial blackout.' While some acknowledged unusual air activity, others dismissed the missile footage as unrelated. Something has happened in Amritsar. Stay Safe — IndiaWarMonitor (@IndiaWarMonitor) May 7, 2025 There is no official confirmation from the Indian Armed Forces, Punjab Police, or the Ministry of Defence that any hostile activity has occurred in Amritsar as of now. As per latest reports from ground 0, many people in Amritsar reporting to hear up to 6/7 different blasts. No official confirmation #Amritsar — AMRITSAR Updates (@UpdatesAmritsar) May 7, 2025 Amid heightened military tensions, sirens were indeed reported in Sialkot earlier in the day, and videos allegedly showing fires in the area were circulated. However, journalists and fact-checkers have since flagged some of those visuals — including the so-called 'Sialkot sunrise' — as old footage from Gaza, not Pakistan. What should you know? There is no confirmed missile strike on Amritsar. Reports of blackouts are circulating but remain unverified by official sources. Some locals claim to have seen unusual lights or heard sounds, but these accounts vary. While tensions are undoubtedly high in the region, no official government source has confirmed any threat or strike in Amritsar. The circulating visuals should be treated with caution. Note: Do not panic or spread unverified content. Rely only on official announcements for updates.
