Pakistan's armed forces have attacked military installations in the Afghan capital Kabul and Nangarhar province. This was announced by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting of the Islamic Republic.
"On the night of March 16, Pakistan carried out precision strikes on military installations and terrorist support infrastructure, including warehouses of technical equipment and ammunition of the Afghan Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij in Kabul and Nangarhar, which were used against Pakistani civilians," the ministry's information verification department said in a statement. The explosion of ammunition that followed the strikes confirms that a military facility was attacked, the ministry added.
The agency denied the statement by the Afghan authorities that the drug rehabilitation center was damaged due to the Pakistani attack, calling it "another distortion of facts aimed at misleading the public."
Earlier, Afghan government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said that Pakistan "once again violated Afghan airspace by striking a rehabilitation center for drug addicts in Kabul, resulting in deaths and injuries to drug addicts undergoing treatment."
On the evening of February 26, fighting resumed on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Kabul has said it is conducting a military operation in response to recent Pakistani airstrikes on Afghan territory. Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said that now his country and the Taliban government in Afghanistan are in a state of open armed confrontation. tass.ru.
