Rescue teams are continuing to pull bodies from the smoking rubble of a drug rehabilitation centre in the Afghan capital, Kabul, which was hit on Monday night in a devastating Pakistani air strike.

The attack on the Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital, which happened at about 21:00 local time (16:30 GMT), is the deadliest in recent violence between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The strike occurred as residents broke their daily fast for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

The death toll has continued to rise, and the Taliban government claims it believes the number of people killed is about 400, although this figure has yet to be confirmed. Many people were also injured.

Mohammad Shafee, a patient in his 20s, survived the attack.

I was in the kitchen helping to serve dinner when I heard a loud bang and ran for safety, he told BBC.

When I returned later, I found most of our colleagues and people in the dining room hit. Only five of us survived.

Maiwand Hoshmand, a doctor at the facility, noted that some patients had just finished dinner when jets struck three parts of the centre.

I heard the sound of the jet patrolling, Omid Stanikzai, a security guard, told the AFP news agency. There were military units all around us. When these military units fired on the jet, the jet dropped bombs, and a fire broke out.

The chaos has led to numerous casualties, with Ahmad, a 50-year-old patient recalling, the whole place caught fire. It was like doomsday. My friends were burning in the fire, and we could not save them all.

It is still unclear why the hospital was struck. Pakistan claims Afghan allegations of a deliberate attack are entirely baseless. Authorities are grappling with the aftermath, and emotional scenes unfolded at the hospital as families searched for news about their loved ones.
