A devastating airstrike on a drug rehabilitation clinic in Kabul has reportedly claimed the lives of over 400 individuals, according to Afghan authorities and the Taliban. Witnesses described horrific scenes of devastation as the attack struck during dinner time at the facility, leaving many dead and injured. The Taliban has accused Pakistan of conducting the strike, while Pakistan has denied the allegations, insisting that the operation was aimed at militant hideouts in Afghanistan. This incident has heightened tensions between the two nations, with India condemning the attack as ‘barbaric’. The United Nations has also expressed condolences over the loss of civilian lives and the targeting of medical facilities, amid ongoing debates about the protections afforded to such sites in conflict zones.
