The network revealed that its transmission via Pakistan’s PakSat satellite was hacked and the broadcast was disrupted, resulting in continuous interruptions that left viewers stunned. The hostile actors managed to breach the transmission and hijack the screen, airing inappropriate and unauthorized messages. The channel has categorically stated that it has no connection whatsoever to the malicious content that appeared during the disruption. The attack is being described as highly coordinated and carefully orchestrated. Sources suggest that the breach was not random but specifically designed to target the Pakistan Army, which is widely regarded as a central pillar against forces seeking to destabilize the country. Reports indicate that hackers allegedly linked to India and Israel were behind the intrusion, inserting anti-Pakistan Army material into the live transmission.
