Afghanistan Says Pakistan Strike Kills 400 at Rehab Clinic

Afghanistan’s Taliban government said at least 400 people were killed by Pakistani airstrikes on a drug treatment hospital in Kabul, marking a dramatic escalation in the conflict between the neighbors.

The strikes destroyed large sections of the 2,000-bed rehabilitation facility, the Taliban government said. Media organizations like Agence France-Presse and the Associated Press reported rescue crews pulling bodies from the rubble of the facility. AFP said its reporters counted at least 30 bodies being removed and saw medics treating dozens of wounded.
