A suicide bomber has killed at least 56 people and wounded 150 others outside a park in Pakistan's eastern city of Lahore, Sky News reported.

The explosion took place in the parking area of Gulshan Iqbal Park, just a few feet away from some children's swings.

The area was crowded at the time because Christians were gathering to celebrate the Easter holiday.

Many families were leaving the park when the blast occurred.

Eyewitnesses said they saw body parts strewn across the parking lot in the wake of the attack.
