Pakistan Says Taliban Base Hit in Kabul | Pak-Afghan News Update | Dawn News English

Описание: Pakistan says its overnight airstrikes in Kabul and Nangarhar targeted terrorist infrastructure used by Afghan Taliban forces, but Afghan authorities claim a drug rehabilitation facility was hit instead, raising international concern. The strikes were carried out late Monday as part of Pakistan’s Operation Ghazab lil-Haq, which Islamabad says aims to dismantle militant networks responsible for attacks inside Pakistan. According to Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, Pakistani forces conducted six “precise, deliberate and professional” airstrikes targeting what he described as terror-supporting military infrastructure. Tarar said one of the main targets in Kabul was Camp Phoenix, a former United States military base located near Kabul’s international airport. He said the site was being used by Afghan Taliban forces as an ammunition storage facility, and that secondary explosions observed after the strikes indicated the presence of large ammunition depots. The minister rejected allegations that a civilian facility had been targeted, adding that video footage released by Pakistan’s information ministry showed the intended targets clearly.
