Multiple Afghan Civilians Killed in Attack on Rehabilitation Center
Kabul, Afghanistan – At least 269 Afghan civilians were killed in an attack on a drug rehabilitation center in the northwest of Kabul this morning, according to reports. The incident occurred in weather conditions described as cold and rainy. Masooda, a resident of the area, was visiting a cemetery to pay respects to her brother, Mirwais, who was killed in a prior Pakistani airstrike two months ago.
She was unable to locate his specific grave but stood near a large burial site marked with gray granite plaques and small white stones – the final resting place for many of the victims. Authorities have confirmed that the attack targeted the rehabilitation center. The exact number of individuals buried at the site remains unconfirmed, with estimates placing the total number of fatalities at 269.
It is currently impossible to determine the precise number of remains interred there, mirroring the uncertainty surrounding the fate of Mirwais, who was 24 years old. The attack highlights ongoing concerns regarding civilian casualties resulting from military operations. Investigations into the incident are underway, and details surrounding the involvement of Pakistani forces are being examined.
The incident underscores the tragic loss of life among Afghan civilians.
