Afghanistan has accused Pakistan of carrying out an airstrike on a hospital in Kabul that was treating drug users, claiming that hundreds of people were killed in the attack.
Afghan officials said the strike targeted the facility in the capital on Monday, resulting in heavy casualties among patients and staff. Authorities claimed the death toll could be as high as 400.
Pakistan has denied the allegation, saying the claim was false and intended to mislead public opinion.
In a statement, Pakistan said its forces had targeted military installations in Kabul and in the eastern province of Nangarhar during the operation.
The incident comes amid rising tensions between the two neighbouring countries, with both sides trading accusations following recent cross-border attacks. Independent verification of the claims has not yet been confirmed. (NewsWire)
