An airstrike in Kabul has killed at least 400 people and injured around 250, according to officials from Afghanistan’s Taliban government. The strike reportedly destroyed a drug treatment hospital, with many victims said to be patients. Afghan authorities condemned the attack as a violation of sovereignty. However, Pakistan denied targeting civilians, stating its airstrikes were aimed at militant infrastructure and carried out with precision. The incident comes amid escalating cross-border clashes between the two countries, with recent exchanges of fire causing additional casualties. The situation has heightened regional tensions and raised concerns over further conflict.
