(CNN) – A suicide car bomb exploded Friday in the middle of a group of men playing volleyball in northwest Pakistan, killing 30 and wounding 52, district police officials told CNN.
The terror attack happened in a residential neighborhood in the Lakki Marwat district of Pakistan’s North West Frontier Province, police said. Some of the casualties were residents from houses around the volleyball court, district police Chief Mohammed Ayub Khan told CNN.
Volleyball is a popular sport in the area, and more than 200 people were watching the game when the bomb went off, the police chief said.
District police officer Asmat Ullah said it exploded in the village of Shah Hassan Khel, which is about 10 miles (16 kilometers) south of the district capital, also called Lakki Marwat, he said.
The area used to be a hub for militants before the military flushed them out about two months ago, the police chief said. Since then, militants have been making threats to the community, Mushtaq Marwatt, a member of a local peace committee, said on a local TV channel.
