Local observers noted that several of the vehicles remained parked outside the hospital while media coverage of the incident was underway. The presence of multiple apparently empty ambulances has prompted speculation among some residents about their role during the response operation.

Afghan Times has not independently verified casualty figures related to the airstrikes. Taliban authorities have not yet provided a detailed explanation regarding the ambulances seen in the footage. However, such imagery - including empty emergency vehicles staged for media coverage - often forms part of what observers describe as an information warfare campaign designed to shape international perception.

The development coincides with Pakistan's confirmation that its strikes targeted terrorist camps belonging to Indian-backed militant networks in Afghanistan's border provinces. According to official statements, the operation eliminated 29 terrorists linked to Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a group Pakistan has identified as an Indian proxy.

It is noteworthy that Taliban authorities have previously been documented recycling old footage and images to support their narratives following military operations, including repurposing earthquake footage or stock images to allege civilian casualties.
