The Taliban governor’s office in Kabul has distributed cash to families affected by the explosion at Shaheed Square.
While the Taliban officially claim the incident was a fuel tanker explosion, earlier statements and foreign reports point to a Pakistani airstrike .
Families of the deceased received 20,000 AFN, while the injured were given 10,000 AFN. This comes after a Taliban police spokesperson admitted to AP that Pakistani drones had conducted strikes in Kabul targeting a home and a market on the same day .
Pakistani state media reported that the strikes targeted a TTP command center. The conflicting narratives between the Taliban’s official stance and on-the-ground reports have left many questions unanswered regarding the true nature of the attack .
