Afghans readied on Wednesday to bury their dead from this week's Pakistani air strike on a Kabul drug treatment centre, as an international NGO confirmed that hundreds were killed and wounded.
The Taliban authorities have said that around 400 people were killed and more than 200 wounded on Monday night, in the deadliest attack yet in the recent upsurge in violence between the two neighbours.
