KABUL (Afghan Verified) -- National Radio Television of Afghanistan (RTA) held a ceremony on April 15, 2026 (26 Hamal), to express condolences to the families of 400 martyrs and 250 wounded from the Pakistani military regime's attack on the Omid camp, a drug rehabilitation center in Kabul.

Dr. Abdul Latif Nazari, an official from the Ministry of Economy, said international organizations have acknowledged the Islamic Emirate's record in anti-narcotics efforts.
