Pakistan explosion reportedly kills at least 60

A suicide attack in Lahore, Pakistan, reportedly killed at least 60 people and injured about 300 others Sunday evening. Many of those injured are reportedly in critical condition.

The blast took place at the crowded Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park, near children's rides. No group has claimed responsibility for the explosion, CNN reports.

Facebook apparently erroneously turned on its Safety Check feature for users not even remotely near Pakistan.
