At least 64 people are dead and more than 200 are wounded after an apparent suicide bomber detonated outside a children’s park in Lahore, Pakistan on Sunday evening.

Area police superintendent Mustansar Feroz told Reuters that “most of the dead and injured are women and children.”

One eye witness said that the crowd at the park was “unusually large” because of the Easter holiday.

“It was a soft target. Innocent women and children and visitors from other cities have been targeted,” said Haider Ashraf, a senior police official in Lahore.
