At least 65 people have been killed in a suicide bombing in the city of Lahore in Pakistan, according to police.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast.

Eyewitnesses said they saw body parts strewn across the parking lot once the dust had settled after the blast.

The park had been particularly busy on Sunday evening due to the Easter holiday weekend.
