Pakistan escalated its conflict with Afghanistan this week by launching a major airstrike on a drug rehab centre in Kabul, which reportedly killed dozens of people as cross-border clashes between the neighbours entered its third week.
The bombing left 143 dead and scores wounded, according to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (Unama). Afghan interior ministry spokesperson, Abdul Mateen Quanie, however said 408 people were killed, with 265 injured at the 2,000-bed drug rehabilitation centre.
