Amnesty International has declared a Pakistani airstrike on the Omid rehabilitation centre in Kabul on 16 March 2026 a likely violation of international humanitarian law, potentially amounting to a war crime. The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan recorded at least 269 civilians killed and 122 wounded in the strike; Omid (a 2,000-bed facility founded in 2016 on a former NATO base) had operated for years as a medical centre for people with drug dependency, a fact Amnesty says was clearly documented through satellite imagery, local signage, and media reports. Pakistan's military claimed the site housed weapons and ammunition, but Amnesty's analysis of over 60 photos, videos, and 30 satellite images found only evidence of patients, a kitchen, food storage, and basic supplies — and no signs of a legitimate military target — prompting the organisation to call for a transparent, independent investigation and accountability for those responsible.
