Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Dozens Feared Dead After Airstrike Hits Kabul Rehab Centre

Caption: Dozens Feared Dead After Airstrike Hits Kabul Rehab Centre. Dozens of people were killed or injured after an airstrike hit a drug rehabilitation centre in Kabul. The Taliban blamed Pakistan for the strike, which Islamabad denied. Pakistan said it targeted militant infrastructure, rejecting claims that a health facility was hit. Witnesses reported explosions followed by aircraft and air defence activity across Kabul. The centre housed around 2,000 people, raising fears of a high casualty toll. The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan said cross-border clashes have already killed dozens in recent weeks. Afghan officials said there were no military targets near the rehabilitation centre. China, which has been working to ease tensions, said Foreign Minister Wang Yi held phone talks with his Afghan and Pakistani counterparts over the past week.
