ISLAMABAD—A bomb blast in a park in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore on Sunday has killed 60 people and wounded 300, a Punjab government spokesman said.
Many of the injured are in a critical condition, Salman Rafiq, a health adviser to the chief minister of Punjab province said.
The explosion took place near the children’s rides in Gulshan-e-Iqbal park, local police chief Haider Ashraf said. He said the explosion appeared to have been a suicide bombing, but investigations were ongoing.
Pakistani relatives bring an injured child to the hospital in Lahore on March 27, 2016, after 60 people were killed and 300 injured when an apparent suicide bomb ripped through the parking lot of a crowded park in the Pakistani city of Lahore where Christians were celebrating Easter.
