Pakistan’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MoIB) has issued a comprehensive rebuttal to claims made by the Afghan Taliban regime regarding an alleged strike on a civilian hospital in Kabul. Utilizing high-resolution imagery and geospatial analysis, the MoIB Fact Checker confirmed that the Omid Hospital remains intact, while the actual target destroyed by the Pakistan Armed Forces was a lethal ammunition and equipment storage facility at Camp Phoenix.
The ministry further characterized the video evidence circulated by Afghan officials as a “synthetic AI clip” that failed to withstand basic forensic verification.

Geospatial Evidence: Camp Phoenix vs. Omid Hospital
The MoIB Fact Checker released a comparative analysis to dismiss the narrative of collateral damage:
-
Distance Discrepancy: The Omid Hospital is located multiple kilometers away from the military site at Camp Phoenix that was precisely targeted during overnight operations.
-
Structural Differences: Imagery released by Pakistan shows that the targeted terrorist infrastructure was a low-profile military storage site, whereas Omid Hospital is a prominent multi-storied civilian structure.
-
Inconsistent Narratives: The MoIB questioned why Afghan official handles abruptly deleted posts and videos that initially claimed a “drug rehabilitation center” had been hit.

Strategic Questions: Co-location of Assets
Islamabad raised serious concerns regarding the Afghan regime’s shielding of military assets:
-
Human Shields: The ministry questioned why a purported rehabilitation facility would be co-located with a lethal ammunition storage site within a known military camp.
-
Lack of Accountability: To date, the Afghan regime has failed to provide a verifiable explanation for the presence of civilian-labeled facilities inside high-priority military zones.
AI and Information Warfare
Forensic teams at the MoIB identified the footage circulated by the Taliban as a synthetic AI-generated clip.
-
Forensic Failure: The video was pulled from official Afghan accounts after it failed multiple independent fact-checks, exposing a sophisticated attempt to manipulate international public opinion through “deepfake” combat footage.
-
Verified Targets: Pakistan reiterated that last night’s strikes were limited to “military terrorist ammunition and equipment storage sites,” specifically designed to degrade the cross-border capabilities of Fitna-al-Khawarij.
Commitment to Precision
The Pakistan Armed Forces maintain that all operations under Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq are governed by strict rules of engagement to avoid civilian casualties. The ministry urged the international community to rely on verified data and avoid the “deliberate misinformation” being proliferated by the Taliban regime’s official handles.
