Following a conflict escalation between India and Pakistan, the Economic Affairs Division's official X account of Pakistan posted a plea for foreign loans, citing heavy losses due to enemy action. The tweet was quickly declared fake and attributed to a hacking by Pakistan’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. This event precedes an IMF meeting on Pakistan's financial aid, amidst India's probable resistance over concerns of fund misuse for terrorist activities after recent attacks.
