KABUL (HRNW): Senior Afghan journalist Razzaq Mamoon has made a startling claim regarding a recent strike in Afghanistan, asserting that Pakistani forces targeted a clandestine drone workshop rather than a civilian hospital. According to Mamoon, the facility was disguised as an ordinary installation but served as a sophisticated center for advancing drone technology.
The journalist further alleged that Indian engineers were present at the site, providing specialized training to Afghan Taliban personnel. This training reportedly covered the entire spectrum of drone operations, including manufacturing, packaging, programming, and field deployment. Mamoon noted that the workshop was strategically located near a camp for drug addicts to provide a layer of operational cover for its activities. He warned that following this training, the Taliban now possess specialists capable of producing “suicide drones.”
While the Afghan Taliban administration has characterized the strike as an attack on civilian infrastructure, Pakistan has consistently maintained that its military actions are precision-targeted against terrorist assets. Official Pakistani policy reiterates that civilian populations are never targeted. Regional security experts suggest that the existence of such drone training centers in Afghanistan poses a significant threat not only to Pakistan but to the broader stability of the region, prompting close monitoring by the international community.
