“Video shows flooding at Jammu Airport caused by heavy rains in August 2025.”
What FACTLY found
This viral video has no connection to Jammu and Kashmir. It dates back to 2023 and shows flooding at Chennai Airport caused by Cyclone Michaung in December 2023. While heavy rains have caused catastrophic flooding in many parts of Jammu and Kashmir, there are no reports of Jammu Airport being flooded in August 2025. However, Jammu Airport did face disruptions due to the heavy rainfall and was closed from the afternoon of 26 August 2025 until the afternoon of 27 August 2025.
