Kabul, Oct 18 (NationPress) Recent airstrikes conducted by Pakistan in Kabul have tragically resulted in the deaths of at least five Afghans and left dozens injured, according to local media reports from Saturday.

Many of the injured are currently receiving medical care at Emergency Hospital in the Afghan capital, with reports indicating that nearly 40 wounded individuals were admitted following the attacks.

Doctor Zabiullah from the hospital noted that some patients are in critical condition and require intensive care.

Ahmad Wali, a 17-year-old victim, recounted his experience: "We were sitting in the car when the plane struck; after that, I don't recall anything. I regained consciousness in the hospital, only to find out that one of my hands had been amputated," as reported by Afghan media outlet TOLO news.

Another survivor, Mawludin, described the chaos: "When the explosion occurred, glass shattered around me. My friends helped me escape, but I was barely aware. Outside, the scene was horrific; it was dark and dusty, and everyone was in dire straits."

In the aftermath of clashes between Afghan border forces and Pakistani military, approximately 20,000 families have been displaced from Spin Boldak city in Afghanistan's Kandahar province, as confirmed by local officials.

These families were forced to flee due to Pakistan's relentless bombings, seeking refuge in arid regions with inadequate living conditions.

Nematullah Olfat, deputy head of the Kandahar Department of Refugees and Repatriation, stated, "The Pakistani military conducted brutal bombings in crowded areas of Spin Boldak, leading to the displacement of 20,000 families. We are actively working to support them," according to TOLO news.

Simultaneously, representatives from the Taliban and Pakistan are expected to engage in discussions in Doha, mediated by Qatar, following days of violent cross-border confrontations, as reported by Pakistani daily Dawn on Saturday.

This meeting comes after Pakistan executed several airstrikes in Afghanistan's Paktika province on Friday, prompting Kabul to accuse Islamabad of breaching the fragile ceasefire agreement between the two nations.

During the Paktika airstrike, three Afghan cricketers tragically lost their lives, confirmed by the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB).

The players, Kabeer, Sibghatullah, and Haroon, were en route from Urgun to Sharana, near the Pakistan border, for a friendly cricket match. Additionally, five other civilians perished in the strike.
