At least 400 people were killed and about 250 others injured in a Pakistani airstrike on a hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan, according to the Taliban. The attack reportedly took place around 9 p.m. on Monday when Pakistan’s military targeted the Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital in the Afghan capital.
A Taliban spokesperson stated on social media that the hospital, which had around 2,000 beds and treated drug addiction patients, was largely destroyed in the strike. Local media also reported extensive damage and warned that the death toll could rise as rescue efforts continued.
Pakistan has not yet issued any official comment on the incident. Reports suggest that the number of casualties may increase as more information becomes available.
