A bomb explosion has ripped through a major hospital where a group of lawyers had gathered in the restive city of Quetta in southwest Pakistan.

Pakistani media reports said at least 93 people were killed when the bomb went off in the emergency ward of the hospital on Monday.

Witnesses described horrifying scenes of bodies being scattered about and the wounded screaming out and crying for help. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the blast.

“It was a suicide attack,” said Zahoor Ahmed Afridi, a senior police officer said of the bombing.
