Amnesty Investigation Intensifies Scrutiny of Pakistan’s Kabul Air Strike Targeting
The Diplomat reports that Amnesty International found no evidence supporting Pakistan’s claim that the Omid Rehabilitation and Treatment Center in Kabul was a weapons site when it was struck on March 16, 2026, killing at least 269 civilians per UNAMA verification. The incident is positioned as a major inflection point in escalating Pakistan–Taliban cross-border hostilities and could increase international pressure for transparent investigations and stricter targeting safeguards.
