Afghanistan’s Taliban have accused Pakistan of killing hundreds of civilians in an attack on a drug rehabilitation centre housing people recovering from addiction in Kabul late on Monday night.
Afghanistan’s deputy government spokesperson, Hamdullah Fitrat, said the airstrike from Pakistan hit the Omid addiction treatment hospital at around 9pm local time. The 2,000-bed facility in the Afghan capital was turned to rubble and photos and videos of the airstrikes shared on social media showed a massive fire engulfing the facility.
