Kabul Hospital Attack: Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif have been accused by Afghanistan of carrying out airstrikes on a hospital in Kabul killing more than 400 and injuring over 250 people.
Afghanistan has claimed that military elements in Pakistan have carried out a series of incursion attempts into the territory of Afghanistan. The Taliban government commented that Pakistan has violated the sovereignty of Afghanistan while also causing the deaths of innocent civilians, including women and young children. Pakistan vehemently denied the allegations and said the airstrikes targeted only “terrorist” and military sites.
Claims Refuted By Pakistan
