The death toll from a late-night suicide bombing at a crowded wedding party in the Afghan capital, Kabul on Saturday evening was at least 63 on Sunday, including women and children, officials said.
It was the deadliest attack in Kabul this year.
Another 182 civilians were wounded.
Kabul residents were outraged, as there appears to be no end to violence, even as the United States and the Taliban say they are nearing a deal to end their 18-year conflict, America's longest war.
The Taliban condemned the attack as "forbidden and unjustifiable" and denied any involvement, leading many to suspect the Islamic State group's local affiliate in Afghanistan in the attack.
The blast occurred in a western Kabul neighbourhood that is home to many of the country's minority Shiite Hazara community.
The bomber detonated his explosives near the stage where musicians were playing and "all the youths, children and all the people who were there were killed," said eyewitnesses.
