At least 22 people have been killed and several others injured in accidents caused by heavy rains across Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan.
In Sindh, torrential rains have intermittently affected various districts, including Jamshoro, Mirpurkhas, and Nowshero Feroze. In Jamshoro, the mountainous region has been particularly impacted, with a woman and two others losing their lives after a roof collapsed. The heavy rainfall has inundated homes, swept away livestock, and isolated several villages from Jamshoro.
The heavy rains have also impacted Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, with reports of roof collapses and lightning strikes causing fatalities.
In Balochistan, heavy rains have continued for the fourth consecutive day, leading to widespread flooding and disrupting traffic on major highways and roads connecting the province to other parts of the country. The death toll from rain-related incidents in Balochistan has risen to 12, according to the provincial disaster management authority. A total of 12 people have died, 32 have been injured, and 263 houses have been damaged, including 91 that have been completely destroyed.
The Kashmir region has also experienced continuous monsoon rains, with districts such as Muzaffarabad, Neelum, Jhelum Valley, Haveli, Bagh, and Poonch seeing a surge in water levels in the Neelum River. The Muzaffarabad Road has been closed at the Dolai area due to a landslide, posing challenges for tourists and residents alike.
