Kabul's Taliban authorities have reportedly detained about ten people accused of photographing and posting images and videos from explosion-affected locations following strikes attributed to Pakistan. Local sources indicate the detainees were documenting damaged sites and sharing content on platforms such as Facebook. Among those reportedly detained are Ahmad Rahimi, Zubair Khan, Faridullah Safi, and Hamid Wazir, though several others remain unnamed. The arrests were conducted by local Kabul Police, who are also alleged to have warned and physically mistreated the detainees. Official statements emphasize strict prohibitions against recording or distributing sensitive footage from strike sites and warn that further violations could lead to harsher punishments, signaling tighter media and public documentation control.
