The Afghan Taliban government reported that a Pakistani airstrike on a drug rehabilitation hospital in Kabul killed at least 400 people and injured 250 others.
Pakistan has categorically denied targeting any civilian or medical facility, maintaining that its “precise” strikes hit only military installations.
I am deeply saddened by the latest reports of civilian casualties as a result of Pakistani airstrikes in Kabul. Targeting civilian homes, educational facilities or medical infrastructure, either intentional or by mistake, is a war crime. The sheer disregard for human lives, especially during the holy month of Ramadan, is sickening and deeply concerning. It will only fuel division and hatred. I call upon the UN and other human rights agencies to thoroughly investigate this latest atrocity and hold the perpetrators to account. I stand with my Afghan people in this difficult time. We shall heal, and we will rise as a nation. We always do. Inshallah ! 🇦🇫
