India condemned Pakistan’s alleged airstrikes on the Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital in Kabul, labeling the attacks a “cowardly and unconscionable act of violence.” The Ministry of External Affairs stated that the strike on March 16 resulted in significant civilian casualties, denying justification as a military target. The Afghan Taliban reports that over 400 were killed and 250 injured, while Pakistan claims it targeted military installations and terrorist infrastructure. India criticized the attack as an assault on Afghanistan’s sovereignty, calling for international accountability for the perpetrators and urging an end to the targeting of civilians. Expressing condolences and solidarity with Afghanistan, India reaffirmed its support for the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The incident exacerbates tensions in the ongoing conflict between the two nations, particularly heightened during Ramadan.
