Afghanistan authorities have said that hundreds were killed and injured after Pakistan’s airstrike hit a drug rehabilitation centre in Kabul on Monday.
Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesperson for the Taliban government, in a post on X on Monday, confirmed that the airstrike by the Pakistani military killed hundreds of people in the rehabilitation centre.
“The Pakistani military regime carried out an airstrike at approximately 9:00 p.m. this evening on the Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital, a 2,000-bed facility dedicated to the treatment of drug addiction,” Mr Fitrat said.
He added, “As a result of the attack, large sections of the hospital have been destroyed, and there are serious concerns about a high number of casualties.”
According to the Taliban government’s deputy spokesperson, at least 400 people have been killed and 250 people injured as a result of the airstrike.
“Unfortunately, the death toll has so far reached 400, while around 250 others have been reported injured. Rescue teams are currently at the scene working to control the fire and recover the remaining bodies of the victims,” Mr Fitrat said.
