Pakistan rejects Afghan Taliban allegations of Airstrike on hospital

Over 400 people were killed and 250 injured in an air strike by Pakistan on a drug rehabilitation hospital in Kabul, a spokesman of ​the Afghan Taliban government said on Tuesday, a sharp escalation in the conflict between the neighbours.

Pakistan’s Ministry of Information debunked Afghan Taliban claims about a recent strike, calling them false and possibly AI-generated. The ministry released clear evidence to set the record straight. The actual target was a military site storing weapons and terrorist gear, located several kilometers from a real multi-storey hospital near Camp Phoenix. Officials shared photos proving no hospital stood at the strike location. They stressed a big gap between facts and Taliban’s story.

The ministry questioned why the so-called drug rehab center sat near a military spot loaded with deadly ammo. No solid answer emerged yet. Taliban’s original X post and video, which labeled the site a drug rehab center, vanished from their official account. This deletion suggests they back away from the controversial claim. The ministry hinted the content failed fact-checks and might stem from artificial intelligence tricks that fooled no one.

Last night’s operation hit a key weapons cache, not civilian spots. The ministry aims to expose misinformation amid rising tensions. This clash highlights ongoing disputes between Pakistan and Afghanistan over border strikes and terror hideouts. Pakistan stands firm, urging truth over propaganda. Clear photos and distances prove the military nature of the site, shutting down false narratives.
