US presidential candidates have begun reacting to the suicide bomber who killed 65 people, mostly women and children, in Lahore, Pakistan on Sunday.

The explosion occurred in the parking area of Gulshan-e-lqpbal park injuring nearly 300 others. As many of the wounded have undergone surgery, officials have warned that the death toll may climb considerably.

John Kasich was the first of the remaining presidential candidates to publicly decry the suicide bombing as a “cowardly mass execution of innocent women and children.”

“Coming on the heels of the terrorist attacks in Belgium, it is further confirmation that radical terrorists are at war with our culture, our values on and our way of life,” Kasich said in a statement, referring to reports that the bombing targeted Christians in the area.
