Pakistan Strike on Kabul Treatment Center | San Francisco News

Amnesty International demands an investigation into a deadly Pakistani airstrike on a Kabul drug treatment center in March, calling it a potential war crime after finding no evidence the facility was used for military purposes — despite Pakistan’s claims. UN data confirms at least 269 civilians died and over 120 were injured, with casualties likely higher. Amnesty’s analysis of over 60 photos, videos, satellite imagery, and interviews revealed no weapons or ammo stored there, and no secondary explosions typical of hitting munitions. The strike occurred amid escalating cross-border violence between Pakistan and Afghanistan, which has killed hundreds of civilians in just three months — despite failed peace talks. Another recent Pakistani attack killed over 20 civilians in eastern Afghanistan. Pakistan accuses Afghanistan of harboring militants, including the Pakistani Taliban, while Kabul denies it. Amnesty concludes the attack violated international humanitarian law by targeting a healthcare facility, marking a catastrophic failure in Pakistan’s military planning that cost countless innocent lives.
