Afghanistan’s Taliban government has accused the Pakistani army of carrying out an airstrike targeting a drug de-addiction hospital in Kabul. Four people died in this attack, while many others were injured.
Taliban government spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid said on social media that this attack by Pakistan is a violation of Afghanistan’s sovereignty. He said most of those killed and injured in the attack were drug addicts undergoing treatment in the hospital.
What did Shahbaz government say on Kabul attacks?
Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s spokesperson Mosharraf Zaidi termed these allegations as baseless and said that no hospital was targeted in Kabul. Pakistan says that its army takes action only on those targets from where attacks are carried out against it.
This allegation has come at a time when the border conflict between the two countries has entered the third week. According to Afghan officials, four people were killed and ten people were injured in firing on the border on Monday.
UNSC demands strict action from Taliban on terrorism
Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council has also called on the Taliban government of Afghanistan to take strict action against terrorism. Pakistan has long alleged that groups based in Afghanistan, particularly Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, carry out attacks inside the country. Kabul has been denying these allegations.
Tension between the two countries began in late February, when Afghanistan took action across the border in response to Pakistan air strikes. Since then, the situation has remained extremely tense due to continuous shelling and air strikes on the border.
