The neighboring countries have been engaging in hostilities since February
Afghanistan has accused Pakistan of conducting an airstrike on a drug rehabilitation facility in Kabul, which Taliban officials said killed at least 400 people.
Pakistan has been striking alleged terrorist camps in Afghanistan since February, accusing the Taliban government of supporting attacks on Pakistani soil. The Taliban has denied any involvement in the string of terrorist attacks in Pakistan.
Taliban government spokesman Hamdullah Fitrat said the strike on Monday evening destroyed large sections of the Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital.
"Unfortunately, the death toll has so far reached 400, while around 250 others have been reported injured," Fitrat wrote on X.
Afghan media published a video showing a building engulfed in flames.
Pakistan's Information Ministry rejected the allegations as "false and misleading."
The ministry said Pakistan targeted military sites and "terrorist support infrastructure," including ammunition depots in Kabul and Afghanistan's northeastern Nangarhar region.
"This misreporting of facts as a drug rehabilitation facility seeks to stir public sentiment while covering illegitimate support for cross-border terrorism," the ministry wrote on X.
