Afghanistan has accused Pakistan of airstrikes on a drug rehabilitation center in Kabul, which Taliban officials said killed at least 400 people.
Pakistan has been attacking terrorist camps in Afghanistan since February, accusing the Taliban government of supporting attacks on Pakistani soil. The Taliban has denied any involvement in the series of terrorist attacks in Pakistan.
Taliban government spokesman Hamdullah Fitrat said the strike destroyed large sections of the Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital on Monday evening.
“Unfortunately, the death toll has reached 400 so far, while around 250 others have been reported injured.” Wrote in Fitrat X.
Afghan media published a video of a building on fire.

Pakistan’s Ministry of Information has dismissed the allegations “False and misleading.”
Pakistan has targeted military bases, the ministry said “Terrorist Support Infrastructure” including munitions depots in Kabul and the Nangarhar region of northeastern Afghanistan.
“This false report as a drug rehabilitation facility seeks to incite public sentiment while involving illegal support for cross-border terrorism.” The ministry wrote in X.
Pakistan has long accused Afghanistan of harboring armed groups that carry out cross-border attacks and terrorist attacks, including the February bombing of a mosque in Islamabad that killed more than 30 people. The Taliban has denied providing aid to militants who attack its neighbours.
