Under the cover of darkness, the earth opens to receive what should never have been taken.
Nearly 200 coffins, silent, identical, and unbearable carry the weight of lives cut short at a place meant for healing, not death. A rehabilitation centre in Kabul turned into a site of mourning. Families shattered. Futures erased by GHQ Pindi.
What bitter irony, those seeking recovery met with destruction.What cruelty, that innocence is buried while power speaks of strategy in Islamabad. And behind it, a deeper wound when a military becomes a subcontracted hand of violence, exporting death beyond its borders, leaving neighbours to bury the consequences.
These are not numbers. These are sons,, fathers, brothers. And tonight, a nation lowers them into the ground, one by one, under the shadow of decisions made far away, by hands that will never feel this grief.
The soil of Kabul grows heavier with sorrow.
"According to preliminary statistics, so far more than 250 addicts under treatment have been killed and hundreds of others have been injured."
@TOLOnews journalist @BahraamHamid tells me his colleagues saw "bodies everywhere" at the Kabul rehabilitation hospital which was hit by Pakistani airstrikes, according to Taliban officials.
The victims were drug addicts who had been brought for treatment.

I am deeply saddened by the latest reports of civilian casualties as a result of Pakistani airstrikes in Kabul. Targeting civilian homes, educational facilities or medical infrastructure, either intentional or by mistake, is a war crime. The sheer disregard for human lives, especially during the holy month of Ramadan, is sickening and deeply concerning. It will only fuel division and hatred. I call upon the UN and other human rights agencies to thoroughly investigate this latest atrocity and hold the perpetrators to account. I stand with my Afghan people in this difficult time. We shall heal, and we will rise as a nation. We always do. Inshallah ! 🇦🇫
