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.
The event was attended by officials from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Speakers condemned the attack as brutal and said it crushed the dreams of addicts seeking recovery.
Qari Mohammad Yusuf Ahmadi, RTA Director General, stated that the Pakistani military regime had shattered the hopes of those recovering from addiction at the 2,000-bed facility.
Sheikh Abdul Rahman Munir, deputy for counter-narcotics at the Ministry of Interior, called on international human rights groups to investigate the incident and not remain silent.
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.
The ceremony praised the Islamic Emirate's achievements in combating drugs. RTA reported widespread reactions from the United Nations, World Union of Muslim Scholars, European Commission, UNAMA and others.

Reliability assessment
Single source (RTA, official broadcaster) reports a public ceremony with multiple named high-level officials (e.g., RTA Director General, MoI Deputy, Economy Ministry official) providing on-record statements confirming the core event of the Pakistani attack on the 'Omid' facility in Kabul, with concrete details (location, capacity, casualty figures). 'X said Y' attributions are verifiable and reliable.
The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. RTA: 'brutal attack' (hyperbolic description of violence), 'Pakistani military regime' (derogatory political framing), 'crushed the dreams' (emotional imagery portraying victims sympathetically); these add opinionated emotional loading against Pakistan.
