What Pakan said: Afghan government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid condemned attack, accusing Pakan of “targeting hospitals and civilian sites to perpetrate horrors”. In a post on X before Afghan officials gave a death toll, Pakan’s Minry of Information said the strikes “precisely targeted military installations and terror support infrastructure including technical equipment storage and ammunition storage of Afghan Taliban” and Afghanan-based Pakani militants in Kabul and Nangarhar.
