Pakistan Conducts Airstrikes On Nine Targets In Afghanistan
Credible sources told Afghanistan International that Pakistan carried out airstrikes on nine targets in Kabul and Nangarhar province on Monday night.
According to the sources, five targets in Kabul including in Sarak-e-Naw, Chaman-e-Hozori, Darul Aman, Shah Shaheed and Karte Naw areas were hit, along with four others in the districts of Achin, Nazian, Goshta and Ghani Khil in Nangarhar.
The sources said the targets in Kabul included a technical office linked to Taliban intelligence in Sarak-e-Naw, an intelligence office in Chaman-e-Hozori, an ammunition depot in Darul Aman, a military facility in Shah Shaheed located near a medical centre, and an army protection unit in Karte Naw.
In Nangarhar, the strikes reportedly targeted a border unit in Goshta, a weapons depot in Nazian, a military unit and arms depot in Achin, and part of an army unit in Ghani Khil.
The Taliban said one of the strikes hit a drug rehabilitation centre, claiming that at least 400 people were killed and 250 others wounded. Pakistan, however, said the strikes were precise and targeted military facilities.
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan has not yet released independent figures or information on the reported attacks.
