Afghanistan accuses Pakistan of killing hundreds in hospital strike
Afghanistan has accused Pakistan of conducting an airstrike on a hospital in the Kunduz province, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of civilians. The incident reportedly took place on Tuesday morning, with Afghan officials claiming that the strike was a deliberate attack on the medical facility.
The hospital, located in a remote area of Kunduz, was said to be providing essential healthcare services to the local population. Afghan authorities have condemned the attack as a violation of international humanitarian law and have called for an independent investigation into the incident.
Pakistan has denied the allegations, stating that it was not involved in any airstrike in the Kunduz province. Pakistani officials have expressed regret over the loss of civilian lives but have attributed the incident to ongoing conflict in the region between Afghan security forces and the Taliban.
The strike on the hospital comes amidst escalating tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan over cross-border attacks and territorial disputes. Both countries have long accused each other of supporting militant groups and engaging in hostile actions across their shared border.
The international community has called for restraint and urged both Afghanistan and Pakistan to exercise dialogue and diplomacy to address their differences and prevent further escalation of violence in the region.
