Pakistan’s military has rejected Amnesty International’s report on an airstrike that hit a treatment centre in Kabul, killing civilians. In a statement on Thursday, the military described the report as baseless and accused the Taliban of using hospitals and medical facilities as ‘blind spots’ for terrorist activities. Amnesty International had reported on Wednesday that the airstrike caused civilian casualties, drawing international concern. The Pakistani military’s denial sharpens the divide over accountability for attacks in Afghanistan, with both sides offering starkly different versions of events. The Taliban have not yet responded to the latest allegations from Pakistan.
