Human Rights Group Reports Over 1,100 Civilian Casualties from Pakistani Military Operations in Afghanistan

A human rights organization, Rohadari, has reported that military operations conducted by Pakistan from December 2024 to June 2026 resulted in at least 1,187 civilian casualties in Afghanistan. The report also highlights the destruction of hundreds of homes, damage to public facilities, and the displacement of thousands, calling for an independent investigation into these incidents.

 

Rohadari, in its latest report, stated that Pakistani military actions have led to significant loss of life and property in Afghanistan between December 2024 and June 2026. A total of 472 civilians were killed and 715 injured during this period, and casualties included men, women, and children across various provinces such as Paktia, Paktika, Khost, Nuristan, Kunar, Nangarhar, Kandahar, Helmand, and Kabul.

Casualties from Military Attacks

The report outlines that the Pakistani forces carried out around 50 air, rocket, and ground strikes, many of which occurred without prior warning during nighttime or early morning hours.

Rohadari asserts that these military actions did not comply with international humanitarian law, as they failed to protect civilian lives.

Destruction of Homes and Displacement of Thousands

According to the findings, these assaults have damaged or completely destroyed 394 residential houses, along with dozens of schools, mosques, health centers, and shops.

Furthermore, the organization noted that approximately 29,000 individuals were forced to flee their homes due to the violence, resulting in widespread displacement.

Rohadari: The Omid Camp Was a Civilian Center

In a section of its report, Rohadari described the assault on the Omid Camp in Kabul as an attack on a civilian facility, stating that most of the victims were patients and staff affiliated with the center.

Call for Independent Investigations

In conclusion, Rohadari has urged for impartial and independent investigations into these military operations by Pakistan, emphasizing the need for accountability for those responsible for violating civilian rights.

To date, Pakistan has not formally responded to the allegations raised in the report.
