Claim: Video of arson attack on a temple by terrorists in Zainapora area of Shopian, Kashmir.
Fact-check: Visuals of a fire break out in Srinagar is shared as terrorists setting a Hindu temple on fire - FACTLY
Verdict: the video is actually of a fire break out in a residential area of parimpora, outskirts of srinagar. the fire which initially broke out in a house soon engulfed the nearby houses. multiple local news agencies have also reported the video and none of these news reports identified the blazing structure as a temple. however, the source of the fire break out is not known. further, there are no recent news reports of a hindu temple set on fire by terrorists in shopian, or for that matter any part of kashmir. hence the claim made in the post is false.
