Pakistan-Afghanistan War News Today Live Updates: Afghan authorities reported on Tuesday that a Pakistani air raid on a medical facility in the capital, Kabul, has left at least 400 people dead. The hospital was reportedly providing treatment to individuals suffering from drug addiction when it was hit.

Deputy government spokesperson Hamdullah Fitrat said the attack, which took place late Monday, caused extensive damage to the building.

He stated that roughly 250 people were wounded and that emergency teams were still battling fires and searching the wreckage for survivors and victims.

Pakistan has denied the allegation, maintaining that its air operations carried out in Kabul and parts of eastern Afghanistan did not strike civilian or medical sites.

The incident comes amid growing hostilities between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Last month, Pakistani forces launched airstrikes they said were aimed at militant bases, prompting Kabul to denounce the attacks as an infringement on its sovereignty and to carry out countermeasures.

Security concerns have long strained relations between the two neighbours. Islamabad accuses Afghan authorities of sheltering armed groups responsible for cross-border attacks.

The ruling Taliban have rejected these claims, arguing that militancy within Pakistan is an internal matter beyond Afghanistan’s responsibility.
