"Sharafat Zaman, the health ministry spokesperson, gave a preliminary death toll of 200 during a television interview with local media that was posted on X. He said all parts of the drug treatment hospital had been destroyed. Afghanistan's government spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, also posted the video interview."
"Pakistan's Ministry of Information said the strikes precisely targeted military installations and terrorist support infrastructure including technical equipment storage and ammunition storage of Afghan Taliban as well as Afghanistan-based Pakistani militants in Kabul and Nangarhar, saying the facilities were being used against innocent Pakistani civilians."
"The alleged attack came hours after Afghan officials said the two sides exchanged fire along their common border, killing four people in Afghanistan, as the deadliest fighting between the neighbours in years entered a third week."
Afghanistan's health ministry reported approximately 200 deaths following airstrikes on a drug treatment hospital in Kabul, with all parts of the facility reportedly destroyed. Afghan government officials condemned the strikes as violations of territorial sovereignty. Pakistan's military dismissed accusations of targeting civilian sites, asserting that strikes precisely targeted military installations and terrorist support infrastructure used by Afghan Taliban and Pakistan-based militants. The alleged attack occurred during the deadliest fighting between the two nations in years, following border clashes that killed four people in Afghanistan. Rescue operations recovered at least 30 bodies, with wounded patients transferred to multiple hospitals for treatment.
