A suicide bomber detonated an explosive device among a large crowd of spectators at a volleyball match in Afghanistan on Sunday, killing at least 45 people.

The attack took place in Yahya Khel district, Paktika province, during an inter-district volleyball match, the New York Times reported.

A suicide bomber walked into the crowd of spectators, wearing a suicide vest packed with ball-bearings and designed to kill as many people as possible, a senior Afghan official told NBC News.

The blast also wounded at least 50 people more, Reuters reported.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack but local government officials suspect that the Taliban was to blame, NBC News reported.
