The Kabul Tribune (KT) — Reuters reported that the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has put the death toll at 143 following a bombing of a drug rehabilitation center in Kabul, citing an official on Wednesday.
According to Reuters, the Taliban had earlier said that more than 400 people were killed and 265 others injured in the airstrike, which they said occurred on Monday night.
Pakistan has rejected the Taliban’s claim that it targeted a drug rehabilitation center, stating instead that it “precisely targeted military installations and terrorist support infrastructure.”
The incident comes amid ongoing tensions between Pakistan and the Taliban, with both sides presenting conflicting accounts of the strike.
