The Taliban’s foreign minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, said at a meeting with foreign diplomats in Kabul that 408 people were killed and 265 others wounded in Pakistani airstrikes on Monday night, which he said targeted a drug treatment centre.
Muttaqi described Pakistan’s attacks on Afghanistan as similar to Israel’s strikes on Gaza.
He called on the international community and Islamic countries to speak out against Pakistan’s actions and fulfil their responsibilities.
Muttaqi also said that negotiations had been under way with mediation from China and some other countries, but claimed that Pakistan’s military establishment was seeking to expand insecurity and pursue what he described as a proxy war through the killing of civilians.
