Amnesty International says Pakistan strike on Kabul drug treatment center may be a war crime
Amnesty International accuses Pakistan of a potential war crime following a March airstrike on Kabul's Omid drug treatment center, which killed hundreds of civilians. The organization found no evidence the facility was being used for military purposes, contradicting Pakistan's claims. The UN verified at least 269 civilian deaths, with Pakistan disputing the casualty figures and asserting it targeted a military site.
