A video shows a large blast after a reported Pakistani airstrike hit a hospital in Kabul. Flames and thick smoke are seen rising from the site. Another clip shows rescuers carrying bodies and firefighters battling the fire. The videos could not be verified. A Taliban spokesperson said 400 people were killed and 250 injured. Spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said Pakistan targeted “hospitals and civilian sites.” Pakistan denied this. Minister Attaullah Tarar said only “precision airstrikes” on military targets were carried out. Tensions between the two sides remain high. (PC: NDTV)
