After waiting overnight, local reporters were finally allowed to enter the strike site in central Kabul. Inspectors found no traces of blood or significant structural damage, and major outlets including ZAWIA News and the Afghan Times reported no visible casualties. Although the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan claimed the strike targeted a rehabilitation center, the reporters observed no evidence to support this claim. Only minor structural damage and fire-related effects were visible. Some witnesses were present and agreed to interviews, stating that the blast occurred further away and that they felt safe at the site. Local sources confirmed the impact was limited to the area affected by flames, and no injured individuals were observed. Additional sources suggested the fire near the rehabilitation center might have been caused by a nearby Taliban military camp struck by Pakistan. The attack reportedly involved an explosion with flames from ammunition observed at the site.
