A video circulating on TikTok depicting Peruvian Armed Forces securing streets in Lima has been identified as old footage. Fact-checking organization Fast Check has labeled the content as “#Añejo,” indicating it is outdated. Reverse image searches revealed the video was originally recorded in October 2022. The footage is unrelated to recent military exercises authorized by current President Keiko Fujimori. This misinformation attempt attempts to associate past events with the current political climate. The circulation of this video highlights the potential for false narratives during periods of political unrest. It underscores the importance of verifying information before sharing it online.
