India condemned Pakistan’s "barbaric" airstrike on a Kabul hospital that killed 400 people, calling it a "heinous act of aggression" and a "blatant assault" on Afghan sovereignty that occurred during the holy month of Ramzan
India on Tuesday issued a scathing condemnation of Pakistan following a devastating airstrike on the Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital in Kabul.
The strike, which occurred on the night of March 16, 2026, has reportedly left at least 400 people dead and 250 injured, according to officials from the Afghan Taliban government. In a sharply worded statement released on Tuesday, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) described the attack as a "cowardly and unconscionable act of violence" targeting a facility that serves the most vulnerable members of society.
The Indian government rejected Pakistan's attempt to frame the incident as a military engagement, asserting that "Pakistan is now trying to dress up a massacre as a military operation." New Delhi further emphasised that the facility "can by no means be justified as a military target."
The MEA characterised the strike as a "blatant assault on Afghanistan’s sovereignty and a direct threat to regional peace and stability," reflecting what it described as Pakistan’s "persistent pattern of reckless behaviour and its repeated attempts to externalise internal failures through increasingly desperate acts of violence beyond its borders."
