March 18 (Reuters) - The site in Kabul hit by a Pakistani airstrike this week was used for storing drones and military grade ordnance, and to train suicide bombers, the Pakistani military said on Wednesday.

The Afghan Taliban government had said the strike targeted a rehab centre and killed more than 400 people.
