Amnesty International Calls for War Crimes Probe Into Deadly Pakistani Strikes on Kabul. Amnesty International has called for an independent investigation into Pakistani airstrikes on Kabul in March, describing the attack as a possible war crime. The rights group said the strikes killed at least 269 civilians and injured 122 others, citing previously released figures from the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA). According to UNAMA and Afghanistan's Taliban-run government, the attack hit a drug rehabilitation centre, while Pakistan has maintained it targeted military and terrorist infrastructure. Amnesty International said its own investigation found no evidence supporting Islamabad's account and concluded the strikes likely breached international humanitarian law. The organisation said healthcare facilities enjoy special protection under the laws of war and accused Pakistan of failing to distinguish between military and civilian targets. Its findings were based on analysis of more than 60 photos and videos, satellite imagery and interviews with current and former staff at the rehabilitation centre. Pakistan's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to Amnesty's latest report, while officials have consistently denied striking a hospital or any civilian facility.
