Kabul rehab centre attack leaves hundreds dead in suspected airstrike
Devastating strike hits a Kabul drug rehab centre, with hundreds killed as witnesses describe burning beds and collapsing walls amid regional and international condemnation.
A devastating strike hit a Kabul drug rehab centre early today, killing hundreds and wounding many more. Reports say the facility was hit in a Pakistani airstrike, turning the building into a ruin as emergency crews rushed to the scene.
Witnesses described scenes of flames, burning beds, and walls collapsing around sleeping patients. Some survivors clung to life amid the rubble, while rescuers toiled to reach people trapped in narrow corridors. The scale of destruction overwhelmed local responders and relief teams, who faced a chaotic and dangerous environment as they treated the injured and searched for those missing.
International reactions quickly followed, with India condemning the attack as barbaric and stressing that civilians cannot be targeted in any conflict, urging restraint and accountability. Aid organizations warned that the casualty figures would likely rise and called for unhindered access to the site for救援 and medical aid. Afghan authorities launched an inquiry while appealing for calm and cooperation from all sides.
The strike arrives amid rising tensions between Pakistan and Taliban-aligned forces in the region, sparking fears of broader instability and further civilian harm. As the country grieves, families search for loved ones and communities reckon with the human cost of ongoing regional conflict. The coming days are expected to bring more details and calls for a careful, transparent investigation into how this catastrophe unfolded.
