UN Disputes Taliban Claim Of 400 Dead In Kabul Airstrike
The United Nations has rejected Taliban claims that 400 people were killed in a Pakistani airstrike on a drug rehabilitation centre in Kabul, saying instead that “dozens” were killed or wounded.
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has not yet released precise casualty figures.
In a statement issued Tuesday, the UN mission made no reference to the rehabilitation centre being directly targeted in the Pakistani strikes.
UNAMA said the drug treatment facility in Kabul was “affected” by the airstrike.
