What happened: Suspected Taliban fighters have fired a rocket into the hospital in northern Afghanistan. The attack has caused substantial damage as Covid-19 vacancies got destroyed.
Background: As Taliban fighters seized the town of Shir Khan Bandar in northern Afghanistan, which is on the border with Tajikistan, many customs members and security forces have fled over the border for safety. As the fight between government forces and insurgents continue, the militants gained control of more territory. Earlier today, a hospital was fired with rockets causing severe harm to the hospital. Though no casualties have been reported, the hospital has still lost crucial medical supplies that included doses of Covid-19 vaccines and polio vaccines. The Taliban spokesperson, Zabiullah Mujahid, has denied the accusations and the responsibility for the attack on the hospital in the eastern province of Kunar.
