Nepalis circulating old photos as recent ones from the Ukraine war

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, social media users have been sharing old images from Ukraine and other countries with claims that they show the ongoing Ukraine war. Social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are rife with misinformation.

One of the photos shared on Facebook shows a city square in flames and in ruins. Another photo shows a child standing inside a room with broken walls and gaping holes.
