Mr Jaiswal said this reflects Pakistan’s persistent pattern of reckless behaviour and its repeated attempts to externalize internal failures through increasingly desperate acts of violence beyond its borders. The spokesperson further stated that this attack was carried out during the holy month of Ramzan, a time of peace, reflection, and mercy among Muslim communities across the world, makes it all the more reprehensible.
“With the technology they have now, they must know that addicts or civilians were there,” said Ali Mohammad, 34, a patient at Omid who was recovering from his injuries at a Kabul hospital.
On March 17, a Pakistani air strike hit a drug-treatment centre in Kabul, which Afghan officials claimed killed more than 400 people.
