US EditionTaliban Says Pakistan Airstrike on Kabul Rehab Center Killed 400
The Taliban and UN report 400 killed and hundreds wounded in the strike on a Kabul drug rehab hospital, while Pakistan denies targeting the facility, citing military objectives.
- On Monday, March 16, an airstrike carried out by Pakistan's military hit the 2,000‑bed Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital in Kabul at about 9:00 PM, killing 400 and injuring 250, Hamdullah Fitrat confirmed.
- Weeks of fighting and a fragile October 2025 ceasefire preceded escalations after February 2026 accusations, setting the backdrop for the recent strike.
- Several Afghanistan cricketers including Ibrahim Zadran and Gulbadin Naib condemned the strikes on social media, while Rashid Khan called it a war crime and Mohammad Nabi said 'Tonight in Kabul, hope was extinguished at a hospital.'
- Rescue teams at Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital are working to control fires and recover bodies after large sections were destroyed, while mothers waited at hospital gates calling their sons' names.
- Islamabad rejected the hospital claims, saying Taliban claims are 'false and misleading' and its forces targeted terrorist infrastructure; India condemned the airstrikes while international commentators drew sharp attention.
