Pakistan Denies Airstrike on Afghan Hospital

0:00The latest international headlines, politics, and world affairs. Right here on Global News Today, a Pakistani air strike struck a drug rehabilitation hospital in Kabul on March 16, according to an Afghan Taliban spokesperson. The attack killed or wounded an unspecified number of people there. Pakistan rejected the claim, insisting the strike targeted military installations in terrorist support sites in Kabul and Nangarhar provinces. Officials said those locations held ammunition and equipment used by Taliban militants and other fighters. The Taliban called it an attack on civilians while Pakistan's military did not respond to requests for comment right away. This comes amid rising tensions between the neighbors. Fighting between the two broke out last month when Pakistan hit what it called militant strongholds in Afghanistan. Kabul fired back, labelling the moves of violation of its borders. Militancy remains a sore point with Pakistan accusing Afghanistan of sheltering attackers who hid its soil. The Taliban denies it, saying the problem belongs to Pakistan alone.
