Authorities in Afghanistan have accused Pakistan of carrying out an airstrike on a rehabilitation centre in Kabul, claiming hundreds of people were killed and many others injured. The incident has raised fresh concerns over rising tensions between the two neighbouring countries.
Officials from the Afghan side stated that the strike hit a facility used for treating drug addiction patients. However, Pakistan strongly denied the allegation, insisting that its operation targeted militant infrastructure and not civilians.
The conflicting claims have made it difficult to confirm the exact details of the attack. Witness accounts suggest heavy damage at the site, while humanitarian groups have reported significant casualties, though independent verification remains unclear.
Meanwhile, China has called for calm and urged both nations to return to dialogue. The situation has drawn international attention, with concerns growing over further escalation in the region, especially as the festive period of Eid al-Fitr approaches.
