US EditionKabul says Pakistan airstrike kills 408 at rehab centre, Islamabad rejects claim
The airstrike targeted a Kabul drug rehab hospital, killing over 400 people and injuring 265, amid escalating Afghanistan-Pakistan border tensions and denial of civilian targeting by Pakistan.
- On Monday, Afghanistan's Taliban government accused Pakistan of conducting airstrikes on a Kabul drug rehabilitation center, claiming the attack killed 400 people; Pakistan denied hitting civilian sites, asserting it targeted military infrastructure.
- This incident marks a sharp escalation in clashes that intensified late last month, with Islamabad describing the ongoing conflict as "open war" and both sides trading accusations of harboring militant groups.
- Ongoing fighting has forced about 115,000 people from their homes according to the UN refugee agency, while the World Food Programme warns that "further instability will push millions into hunger" delivering aid.
- Beyond Kabul, exchanges in Khost province and other border regions have killed two children and wounded 10 people in recent days, disrupting an October ceasefire and straining diplomatic relations.
- Amid these tensions, the UN Security Council recently extended the UNAMA mission for three months, calling on the Taliban to "step up efforts to combat terrorism" without explicitly naming Pakistan.
