NEW DELHI/KABUL/ISLAMABAD: India unequivocally condemned Pakistan’s “barbaric” airstrikes on a drug rehabilitation hospital, which was said to have resulted in a death toll of around 400, saying that Islamabad was trying to dress up a massacre as a military operation. Expressing solidarity with Afghanistan, Indian govt said this was a cowardly and unconscionable act of violence that claimed the lives of a large number of civilians in a facility which could by no means be justified as a military target.Hamdullah Fitrat, the deputy spokesman for the Taliban, said in a post on X the airstrike took place at 9 pm (1630 GMT) on Monday and targeted the state-run Omid Hospital, which he said was a 2,000-bed drug rehabilitation centre.
