Reported airstrike on Afghanistan hospital allegedly kills 400+ civilians, sparking widespread criticism over muted international response to the attack.

March 17 (Reuters) - An air strike by Pakistan on Monday that the Afghan government says killed hundreds of civilians has led to an escalation in the conflict between the South Asian neighbours. Here is a look at what happened.

Both countries said they were suspending fighting before the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, and at the request of Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar.

Pakistan and Afghanistan on Wednesday declared a temporary pause in escalating fighting, two days after Kabul blamed Islamabad for a deadly airstrike in the Afghan capital that it said killed hundreds of people at a drug rehabilitation hospital.

The exact number killed in Monday night's strike by Pakistan is still not known, but is feared to be in the hundreds.

Rescue crews were still digging bodies out of the rubble of a drug rehabilitation hospital in the Afghan capital on Tuesday morning, after officials there said that an overnight Pakistani airstrike killed at least 400 people in a dramatic escalation of a conflict between the two neighbors that is now in its third week.
