At least 45 people, including three Pakistani border security personnel, were killed and dozens others injured in a suspected suicide bomb attack at Pakistan’s Wagah border with India, police said.
The Wagah border is near Pakistan’s second largest metropolitan city Lahore.
Eyewitnesses said a bomb went off when hundreds of people were disembarking from a pavilion at the end of a traditional flag-wrapping ceremony.
"It was a deafening blast that tossed me in the air and threw me meters away," Ghulam Mustafa, an eyewitness told reporters.
Charred pieces of human flesh, shoes, clothes and other belongings were strewn all across the blast site. Several ambulances were rushed to the site to shift dozens of injured and dead to hospitals.
Punjab police chief Mushatq Sukhera said the death toll was now 45. Initially, it was reported that at least 35 people had died in the attack.
"We have collected ball-bearings which are usually used in suicide bombing from the scene," Sukhera said.
