      Video Of Failed Russian Rocket Launch Passed Off As Pak Missile

      Dramatic footage of a rocket crashing seconds after take off is being shared with the false claim that it is from the recent launch of Pakistan's nuclear capable ballistic missile 'Ghaznavi'.

      The 45-seconds clip shows a rocket take off but soon lose its trajectory, somersault and explode while still in flight.

      The clip was shared with the misleading caption that reads, "Pakistan's 13th test of Ghaznavi missile failed. The missile going up to 300Km ended up burning like a fallen paper at 36Km."
