The Army has denied social media allegations that a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) was hacked by China. Official sources affirmed the Army's commitment to asset security, urging media and the public to avoid spreading unverified misinformation that could cause unnecessary public concern.

The Army has publicly rejected claims circulating on social media that one of its Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) was hacked by the Chinese side. Official sources emphasized the need for media and social media users to refrain from disseminating unverified and misleading information.

According to these sources, the Army remains steadfast in maintaining the security and operational integrity of its assets. The allegations, which asserted the RPA had veered into Chinese territory and was subsequently hacked, have been called entirely baseless and factually incorrect by the Army.

The military has urged caution, reminding both media outlets and the public that spreading false information could lead to unwarranted alarm and misinformation in the public domain. Such dissemination of rumors could compromise public understanding and trust.
