ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar on Tuesday said the Afghan Taliban regime is peddling yet another falsehood by alleging that Pakistan targeted a drug rehabilitation hospital in Kabul. “This claim is entirely baseless,” said the minister in a news statement. “Pakistan, in its ongoing war against terrorism, is engaging only those military and terrorist targets, along withthe infrastructure of the Afghan Taliban regime, that are being directly or indirectly used to plan, facilitate,shelter, train, or abet terrorist attacks inside Pakistan,” Atta Tarar emphasized. He said the strikes carried out on the night of 16 March 2026 in Kabul and Nangarhar were precise, deliberate, and professional. Tarar said the targets were military and terrorist infrastructure, including ammunition and technical equipment storage sites and other installations linked to hostile activity against Pakistan.
