At least 400 people have been killed and around 250 injured in a Pakistani airstrike at a hospital in Kabul, Taliban spokesperson said.

The Taliban government said that a large section of the hospital has been destroyed in a Pakistani airstrike and the number of casualties may increase.

Pakistan, meanwhile, has denied the Afghan government's allegations as baseless, saying that no hospital was targeted in Kabul.

The alleged attack came hours after Afghan officials said the two sides exchanged fire along their common border, killing four people in Afghanistan, as the deadliest fighting between the neighbours in years entered a third week.

According to reports, Pakistan's military regime recently struck an addiction treatment centre in Kabul's 9th police district, causing heavy casualties.

"The Pakistani military regime has once again violated Afghanistan's airspace and targeted a drug rehabilitation hospital in Kabul, resulting in the death and injury of addicts who were undergoing treatment", Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesperson of Taliban Government said.

 "We strongly condemn this crime and consider such an act to be against all accepted principles and a crime against humanity", he further said.
