Several prominent Afghanistan cricketers, including Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi, expressed their anguish after a Pakistani military airstrike at a drug rehabilitation centre in Kabul on Monday killed nearly 400 people and injured more than 250 people, PTIreported

Pakistan carried out heavy bombardment targeting Afghanistan's capital Kabul, with Taliban officials and residents reporting multiple explosions across the city, according to PTI quoting Khaama Press in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan's star all-rounder Rashid Khan took to social media to express his outrage, saying he was "deeply saddened by the latest reports of civilian casualties in Kabul". The all-rounder added that targeting civilian homes, educational facilities, or medical infrastructure, whether intentional or accidental, amounts to a war crime.

“I am deeply saddened by the latest reports of civilian casualties as a result of Pakistani airstrikes in Kabul. Targeting civilian homes, educational facilities or medical infrastructure, either intentional or by mistake, is a war crime. The sheer disregard for human lives, especially during the holy month of Ramadan, is sickening and deeply concerning,” Khan said on X.

“It will only fuel division and hatred. I call upon the UN and other human rights agencies to thoroughly investigate this latest atrocity and hold the perpetrators to account. I stand with my Afghan people in this difficult time. We shall heal, and we will rise as a nation. We always do. Inshallah!"

“Tonight in Kabul, hope was extinguished at a hospital. Young men seeking treatment were murdered in a bombing by the Pakistani military regime. Mothers waited at the gates, calling their sons' names. On the 28th night of Ramadan, their lives were cut short,” veteran all-rounder Mohammad Nabi said on X.

Afghanistan's T20I captain Ibrahim Zadran also condemned the air strike by Pakistan.

“Tonight I heard a massive explosion here in Kabul. Moments later, we saw flames rising into the sky from a hospital. Our brothers who intended to fast tomorrow are now gone, or wounded. My thoughts are with every family grieving tonight. Kabul is in pain. We pray for justice.”
