Nearly 50 people, including children and security personnel, were killed and 70 others injured in a powerful suicide blast in Pakistan at Wagah today, minutes after the popular flag-lowering ceremony at the Indo-Pak border. The powerful explosion occurred in the parking area of the Wagah border between India and Pakistan, as the flag lowering-ceremony ended this evening.

48 people have been killed while nearly 70 others have been injured in the explosion and it is feared that the death toll could rise, Geo TV reported. Huge crowds gather every day at the crossing to watch a “lowering of the flags” ceremony, which soldiers from both countries have conducted for decades.
