A mass burial was held in the Afghan capital Kabul on Thursday for those killed in a controversial airstrike on March 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Afghan officials, 60 people were buried in this phase, while 50 people were buried earlier on March 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Afghan Taliban claims that a hospital for drug addicts was targeted in the attack this month, resulting in hundreds of deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taliban officials have called it an attack on civilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, Pakistan has denied the accusation, saying that its airstrikes were against specific terrorist hideouts and weapons depots, and that no civilian targets were targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afghan officials say more than 400 people were killed and 263 injured in the attack, but relevant UN agencies have not confirmed these figures and have said that investigations into the number of deaths and the nature of the incident are ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident has not only increased tensions between the two countries but is also raising new questions about the security and human rights situation in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
