The world is waking up to absolute shock and horror this morning. The capital city of Afghanistan, Kabul, has been rocked by one of the most devastating airstrikes in recent history, pushing two nuclear-armed regional neighbors into what is now being officially termed an “open war.”
If you haven’t checked the international news today, the situation in South Asia has escalated to a terrifying new level. Here is the complete breakdown of the tragic events unfolding in Kabul right now.
The Midnight Strike: What Happened in Kabul?
Late Monday night, the skies over Kabul were torn apart by deafening explosions. According to the Afghan Taliban government, the Pakistani military launched a highly coordinated, deadly airstrike directly into the heart of the Afghan capital.
The target? The Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital, a massive 2,000-bed facility in the Pul-e-Charkhi area dedicated to treating drug addiction.
- The Devastation: The facility was completely flattened.
- The Death Toll: Afghan officials have confirmed a heartbreaking death toll of at least 400 people, with over 250 more severely injured. Rescue crews are still frantically digging through the rubble to find survivors.
Pakistan’s Defense: “Targeting Terror, Not Civilians”
Pakistan has fiercely rejected Afghanistan’s claims regarding the hospital.
While Islamabad has not denied launching airstrikes into Kabul and other provinces, the Pakistani Ministry of Information stated that their jets “precisely targeted military installations and terrorist support infrastructure.” They claim they were hunting down militants of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), who they allege are using Afghan soil as a safe haven to launch terror attacks into Pakistan.
