"More than 100 people have been killed in a Pakistani air strike on a drug treatment centre in Afghanistan's capital, forensic laboratory sources told the BBC."
This resumption of military conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan has gone in the background of the US and Iran war. The Pakistani leadership denied this story which the Afghans claimed killed 400 but this is the first credible article that confirms significant casualties (while the 400 number still remains unverified). Significant escalation nonetheless which given both sides broke a ceasefire from a few months ago looks like there is no clear way out of the fighting.

> Pakistan denied striking the facility deliberately, saying it had “precisely targeted military installations and terrorist support infrastructure”.
Sounds familiar.
