“Afghanistan says 400 people were killed in a Pakistan airstrike on a Kabul hospital treating drug users”
Afghanistan's Taliban government claims Pakistan conducted an airstrike on a drug rehabilitation hospital in Kabul that killed approximately 400 people. Pakistan has not confirmed conducting such a strike, and independent verification of the casualty figures and attack details remains limited. The incident occurs amid ongoing tensions between the two countries over cross-border security issues.
“President Trump claimed the U.S. had 'destroyed 100% of Iran's Military capability'”
President Trump claimed the U.S. destroyed 100% of Iran's military capability following strikes in 2026. Available evidence indicates U.S. military strikes targeted specific Iranian military assets, but no official U.S. military assessments support the claim of complete destruction of Iran's military capability. Iran continues to maintain active military forces, infrastructure, and operational capabilities.
“The U.S. struck Iran's Kharg Island, destroying more than 90 military targets while preserving oil infrastructure”
U.S. Central Command confirmed strikes on Kharg Island in March 2026 that destroyed more than 90 military targets including missile facilities. While official statements emphasized targeting military infrastructure, the extent to which oil infrastructure was deliberately preserved versus simply not targeted requires additional verification of damage assessments.
