India Condemns Pakistan Airstrikes That Killed Hundreds of Afghan Civilians at UN

India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni, accused Pakistan of conducting cross‑border airstrikes in Afghanistan that resulted in 750 civilian deaths and injuries in the first three months of 2026, according to United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) data. He highlighted a March 2026 strike on the Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital in Kabul during Ramadan, which UNAMA reported killed 269 civilians and wounded 122, describing it as “barbaric.”

Parvathaneni said UNAMA attributed 94 of the 95 recorded civilian‑casualty incidents to Pakistani security forces, and noted that the violence has displaced over 94,000 Afghans. In his remarks at the UN Security Council’s open debate on the protection of civilians, India called for stronger accountability, humanitarian access, and adherence to international law, while recalling historic grievances from Pakistan’s 1971 actions in Bangladesh.
