Executive Summary
A volcano erupted at Indonesia’s Anak Krakatau on the night of September 4, 2026. A video is being shared on social media in connection with the eruption. The video shows lava rising high into the air following a volcanic eruption, with people seen fleeing the area. Some social media users are sharing the video claiming that it shows the eruption of Indonesia’s Anak Krakatau volcano. Research by CyberPeace found that the viral video is AI-generated. The video was created with the help of AI tools. However, four volcanoes, including Anak Krakatau, have erupted in Indonesia.
Claim
An Instagram user shared the viral video with the caption: “Indonesia’s Anak Krakatau volcano erupted Friday night. According to MAGMA Indonesia, lava fountains were seen rising from the volcano’s crater, while ash plumes reached a height of up to 400 metres. The volcano remains at Level III, with authorities enforcing a 3-kilometre exclusion zone around the crater.”

Fact Check
To investigate the viral video, we examined it closely and noticed several inconsistencies. At the beginning of the video, people can be seen standing calmly as the volcanic eruption takes place. Shortly afterward, the vehicles parked there suddenly begin moving. In one of the cars, no driver is visible. Meanwhile, the legs of a person running on the road disappear, and the person appears to merge into the background. These visual inconsistencies raised suspicions that the viral video had been created using AI tools.

We checked the video using the AI detection tool Hive Moderation, which indicated that there was a more than 94 percent likelihood that the video was AI-generated.

We checked the keyframes of the video using the AI detection tool Was It AI, which identified the video as 97 percent likely to be AI-generated.

Conclusion
The Anak Krakatau volcano in Indonesia erupted on the night of September 4, 2026. However, our research found that the video being shared in connection with the eruption was created using AI tools. Visual inconsistencies in the footage, along with the results of AI detection tools, indicate that the video is AI-generated and does not show genuine footage of the Anak Krakatau eruption. Therefore, the claim that the viral video shows the September 4 eruption of Indonesia’s Anak Krakatau volcano is false.

https://perma.cc/5VY5-ZFCN?type=standard

Fact Check
We closely examined the video showing the bridge being swept away. A person can be seen standing on top of a truck, which appears unnatural in such a situation. Moreover, even as the bridge collapses, the people on it do not appear to fall directly into the water. These observations led us to suspect that the video was likely AI-generated.

We scanned the viral video using the AI detection tool ‘WasItAI’, which identified it as 99 percent AI-generated.

Meanwhile, another AI detection tool, Sightengine, also identified the video as 99 percent AI-generated.

Conclusion:
A video being shared with the claim that it shows devastation caused by floods in Nepal is actually from the shooting of an Indonesian TV serial, while another viral video is AI-generated.

Executive Summary
A video is being widely shared on social media claiming to show a delivery boy assaulting a woman. In the viral clip, a man approaches a woman to deliver some items. An argument soon breaks out between the two, followed by pushing and shoving that escalates into a physical fight. The purported delivery boy is then seen knocking the woman to the ground and allegedly beating her. Research by CyberPeace Research Wing found that the viral video is scripted.
Claim:
“A delivery boy brings a parcel, and the customer comes outside to collect it. As soon as the delivery boy hands the parcel to the woman, it falls from her hands, following which the female customer starts assaulting the delivery boy. In anger, the delivery boy also begins hitting the woman and knocks her to the ground, brutally beating her with kicks and slaps. Although the woman was at fault, the delivery boy should not have reacted so violently.”
https://www.facebook.com/reel/2826948067671726

Fact Check
To verify the viral video claiming to show a delivery boy assaulting a woman, we conducted a reverse image search using keyframes from the clip. During the search, we found the same video posted on the Facebook account of a user named Vipin Chauhan on August 21, 2026. The viral clip appears in the 2-minute-33-second-long video. The caption accompanying the video states that it is a pre-planned (scripted) video.

Executive Summary
Following the flash floods that struck the Nepal-Tibet border on Wednesday morning, 289 bodies have so far been recovered, while around 1,500 people remain missing. A large number of foreign nationals, along with Nepali citizens, are also among those reported missing. Meanwhile, a video showing a massive landslide is being widely circulated on social media. The viral clip is actually a compilation of two separate videos. The first shows a landslide rapidly turning into a torrent of muddy floodwater, while the second shows a two-storey house on a riverbank being swept away by rising floodwaters. A research done by the Research Wing of the CyberPeace found that both videos are old and unrelated to Nepal. The first video is from Myanmar, while the second was recorded in the United States.

Executive Summary
A purported statement attributed to former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is going viral on social media. The post claims that Johnson said about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, “Modi bows under pressure.” It also attributes a comparison between Jawaharlal Nehru and Modi to Johnson, portraying Nehru as more courageous. A research done by the Research Wing of the CyberPeace found the viral claim to be false. During the research, the team examined Boris Johnson’s interview at the ET World Leaders Forum 2026, along with media reports related to the interview. The available transcript contains no remark by Johnson saying “Modi bows under pressure” or anything similar. On the contrary, he praised the changes and development taking place in India.
Claim:
A user on Instagram shared the viral claim, writing: “The purported statement by former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has intensified the debate over India’s foreign policy and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership. The viral claim describes Nehru’s foreign policy as visionary while accusing the Modi government of bowing under pressure and taking shortcuts. The statement has triggered political reactions on social media.” The link to the post, its archive link, and a screenshot are provided below.
https://www.instagram.com/p/Dcdo_TGy-W0/

Fact Check
To verify the authenticity of the viral claim, the Desk examined the available transcript and reports of Boris Johnson’s interview at the ET World Leaders Forum 2026. The Desk found that Johnson also praised India’s current situation. He said that India is going through a “very good period under very strong and stable leadership.” He described India’s progress as “a really wonderful story” and expressed optimism about the country’s future.

During the interview, Johnson discussed several international issues, including India-UK relations, US-UK ties, NATO defence spending, the Iran war and the Ukraine war. The available interview transcript contains no statement from him saying that “Modi bows under pressure” or that Nehru was more courageous than Modi. Johnson also referred to Jawaharlal Nehru in the context of India-Russia relations. He recalled that the late Queen Elizabeth II had once shared an anecdote about a conversation she had with Nehru in the 1950s, during which Nehru reportedly told her that India would always stand by Russia and that some things never change.

Conclusion
Boris Johnson did not make any statement at the ET World Leaders Forum 2026 suggesting that “Modi bows under pressure” or that “Nehru had courage.” On the contrary, he praised India’s progress and spoke positively about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership. Johnson did mention Nehru during the conversation, but his reference was in the context of India-Russia relations and an old conversation between Nehru and the late Queen Elizabeth II. He did not compare Nehru with Modi, nor did he criticise Modi. Therefore, the claim circulating on social media attributing the statement “Nehru had courage, Modi bows under pressure” to Boris Johnson is false.
