Pakistani strike hits rehab hospital in Afghanistan, Taliban says

A Pakistani military airstrike struck a drug rehabilitation hospital in Kabul, with the Taliban claiming the strike killed over 400 people. Pakistan disputes the Taliban's account, asserting the facility was a weapons depot rather than a medical site. The conflicting narratives reflect the fraught military relationship between Pakistan and the Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, where cross-border operations have been a recurring source of tension. If the Taliban's casualty figure is accurate, the strike would represent a significant loss of life and raise questions about target verification in the operation. The incident underscores ongoing Pakistani military engagement in Afghanistan despite the Taliban's 2021 takeover of the country.
