A senior UNAMA official told Amu TV that the United Nations has so far verified that at least 269 civilians were killed and more than 122 injured in the March 16 airstrike that hit the Omid Rehabilitation Center in the east of Kabul.
Taliban have said that about 400 people were killed in the attack, a figure significantly higher than the UN’s confirmed toll.
Pakistan has claimed that the strike targeted Taliban military facilities but has not publicly addressed reports of civilian casualties.
The United Nations has not issued a detailed public report on the incident.
The strike prompted widespread international concern, with governments and humanitarian organizations calling for an independent investigation.
According to findings reported by Amu TV, the facility was located near Taliban military installations, which may have contributed to it being targeted. It was not clear whether that proximity was known at the time of the strike.
More than a month after the attack, the incident continues to draw scrutiny. Some residents in Kabul have questioned the response of Taliban leaders, noting the absence of a public message of condolence from senior Taliban officials.
“The blood of innocent people should not be ignored,” one resident said.
Separately, sources within the Taliban told Amu TV that their leadership had instructed officials not to publicly criticize Pakistan, in what they described as an effort to avoid escalating tensions.
The strike came amid heightened tensions between Pakistan and Taliban, following several rounds of talks that have so far failed to resolve security disputes.
