Kabul Rehab Center Airstrike Kills Hundreds

0:00It's March 17th. Here's your global news in two minutes. Rescue teams and Kabul are still pulling bodies from the rubble of a drug rehab center hit by a Pakistani air strike on Monday night. The attack killed at least 100 people at the OME facility, which was packed with patients breaking their Ramadan fast. The single-story building, once a military camp, had become overcrowded under Taliban rule, holding thousands instead of its 2,000 capacity. Pakistan denies targeting the center on purpose, insisting the jets struck nearby military and terrorist sites. The strike came amid rising border tensions, with both sides accusing each other of sheltering militants. Jets hit three areas of the facility, right after dinner and prayers, sparking a massive fire. Survivors described chaos as they fled the blast in flames, with only a handful making it out alive from the dining area. These gathered outside on Tuesday, desperately searching for loved ones among the wounded and dead. One mother waited from dawn, unable to find her son after four months of treatment there.

At least 100 bodies reached Kabul's forensic department, though the toll could rise as identification drags on for the badly burned, a smaller nearby rehab site escaped damage. Meanwhile, UN officials call for calm after six health facilities in Afghanistan have been hit since late February. The incident highlights Afghanistan's deep drug crisis, fueled by years as a top olbyan producer and ongoing clashes that have claimed lives on both sides of the border.
