In a poignant sight, several Afghan families searched for their loved ones on Eid in Afghanistan after Pakistan's airstrike on a drug rehab centre in Kabul claimed lives of over 400 people on March 16, a report has detailed. The Pakistani attack against what it termed as "military and terrorist infrastructure" in Afghanistan seemed to have gone wrong catastrophically as a rehabilitation centre for drug addicts was targetted which resulted in a massive tragedy.
On Eid, Sohrab Faqiri was looking for the grave of his brother killed in a Pakistani airstrike on Kabul. Faqiri’s brother, Qais, a tailor and father of a 10-year-old boy, was receiving treatment at the facility for the past three months, UK's leading daily The Guardian reported.
