Pakistan strike in Kabul kills hundreds, Afghanistan claims

Kabul – Airstrikes in the Afghan capital have led to accusations against Pakistan’s military, with the Taliban government reporting a significant civilian death toll. Officials state at least 400 people were killed and over 250 injured after a facility treating drug users was struck Monday night. The Taliban government has directly accused Pakistan’s military of targeting the hospital, calling the strikes an “act of inhumanity.” Rescue crews continue to recover bodies from the rubble. Most of the casualties are reported to be patients undergoing treatment. Pakistan has denied the accusations, stating its forces only targeted “military installations” within Afghanistan. This incident marks a sharp escalation in tensions between the two countries, following a Pakistani military operation launched last month against alleged extremist groups sheltering in Afghanistan. Afghan authorities claim hundreds of civilians were killed, while Islamabad rejects the claims as “false.” The reported strikes occurred amid ongoing conflict that began late last month.
